hello!

This companion blog mainly hosts links that I want to mark for later reference. It's my virtual collection. As I read through literally thousands of blog postings, patterns naturally reveal themselves. Hey, it's a hobby that I enjoy. All links are gathered manually, i.e., I do not use any kind of automated search query. I figure I might as well share what I've found. Plus, I'm using this as a tester blog, so you might see a few oddities from time to time.

Superstorm Sandy

Never mind the handful of central CA earthquakes strong enough to wake us up in the past week or so, Sandy is much worse.  Even though this hurricane turned superstorm has been in the news, it's been interesting to follow personal accounts from bloggers who are doing much better than many in the area:
