Every once in a while I post something that has more long-term usefulness, such as focused collections of links that may get lost among my wider collection of bookmarks, or may still have a limited shelf life, just a longer one that most daily posts. I’ll park them here. I’m also including some off-site resources I’ve gathered, like my blog reading list.
