A Compendium of Others' Ramblings
As a pro crastinator (get it?), I thoroughly enjoy reading random online blogs. Here are some fun articles and blogs I've come across while surfing the interwebs (for both my own storage and your entertainment). The underlying blogs have also been quite good for timesinking.
Computers are fascinating little objects, and I quite enjoy any content that teaches me more about them than I knew yesterday. If you have any recommendations or gems of your own, do not hesitate to email me them!
