Some of my favorite posts

published on : Wednesday, March 19, 2025

From time to time, I come across terrific blogs written by other people. In the old days, I used to maintain an org-mode text file with the blog post titles and relied mainly on google search if I wanted to look up the contents.

Now that google search has gone to shit and there is like 1000% AI slop on the web, I have become a link-hoader: I bookmark links and also submit them to archive.org for posterity.

From time to time, I will write posts here such as this one where I link to some of the stuff I’m reading/appreciating.

Just thought I’d share this with the readers of my blog. Enjoy!
