Blog Link Bankruptcy

Lotsa bloggers been declaring “email bankruptcy” lately, deleting wholesale their inbox contents and publicly announcing that anyone with an important, recent email should just send it again.

Cool idea.

But it’s my blog bookmarks folder that’s outta hand. Call this is horrible, lazy blogging, but I’m doing it anyway. I’m declaring Blog Link Bankruptcy. Below is my current backlog of presentations links to blog about. Someday I will explain the more important ones, but I need this clean break for the moment… Call it trying to be less of a perfectionist.
