I think if you only read one of these today it should be the Derek Sivers piece on plaintext.
Reuse network
Sounds good, but I'm never sure how well these things work out - lots of broken links as far as I can see.
The Marginalian
This used to be called Brain Pickings - it's by Maria Popova who I met once at a thing at SXSW that I don't think I was really invited to. I hadn't heard of her at the time, which also isn't helpful when you're being introduced to the guest of honour at something.
Earliest Political Memories
A group of friends met and talked these through. It's interesting to ponder what shaped us, what things that we remember from childhood that we latched onto and became part of us. (or maybe the ideas latched on to us).
Sivers on plaintext
A very persuasive argument for only writing in text files (that's what I'm actually doing at the moment, before I copy & paste it into an editor - I'd really like to work out how to drop the copy & paste bit though and post straight to this blog. "Reliable, flexible, portable, independent, and long-lasting. Plain text files will be readable by future generations, hundreds of years from now"
Library of Things
Another local initiative that I haven't got round to engaging with. Again I suspect it's not quite working as well as it could yet.
