Every week my browser gets cluttered up with tabs for stuff that I stumble across and figure I might be able to use as a Question of the Day or a WTF Thought for the Day or grist for some other post. And inevitably, I end the week with most of that material unused. But there’s no reason to let this stuff go to waste: I can still share it with you, for your amusement, and start the new week with a clean slate.

That’s the best defense he could come up with? Bloggers don’t all wear pajamas and we’re good at insulting people?
Call me a cynic, but I’ve come to expect a bit more from my favorite bloggers than that.
MAJ, I’m curious: how do you accumulate all of this? Is it just the product of surfing the net for a few hours coupled with free-association clicking and bookmarking – or is there some method involved?
You often turn up some fascinating stuff that I would never find…
Uh… Cleopatra was an inbred Macedonian. Her family as I understand it didn’t mix with the locals (or anyone else for that matter…) She was the first in her family to embrace the local language and customs, but she was more or less Greek by decent, not African.
I’m sorry but political revisionist history really bugs me.
No special method, just surfing and clicking around.
