new-age linkin

i just recently read the book The New Influencers by Paul Gilliam (sorry the website looks cheezy, but the book is okay) and learned the wonderful benefits of linking.

He says that linking to other websites and articles are good for growing your blog followers and thought community etc. I think linking to other websites is good to remember where exactly i came up with the crap thoughts i have.

so, from now on you can kind of expect me to link to articles and such that i find interesting. The benefit is only half so you can verify that i'm completely not off my rocker and making stuff up. The other half of the benefit is so that i can do the same.

this blog is now my external hard drive

As you can see from my wide variety of topics in my posts, i think a lot about a lot of things. I have been looking for a way to organize, collect and categorize my thoughts on a wide array of subjects. I have found delicious to be a wonderful way to organize stuff on the web, however, it didn't fit my off-the-cuff thoughts because i couldn't tag books, thoughts and the like. So, what i'll be doing from now on is using my blog as my 'external hard drive' or 'outboard brain' as one Wired writer pontificated.
