Blog as bookmark—Lately many of my Web log entries have been about sites that I like and want to be able to reference in the future. I could create a bookmark, but I rarely use bookmarks. I use my links page for the important sites that I plan to visit more than once. The bookmark links sit for months unused, and when I do check them, the titles usually are useless and I've forgotten the context. Putting them in the blog is a way to revisit them again in the future.

Having said that, I rarely revisit old entries. The ones I do revisit are those created within the recent past and I want to find that link that I liked at the time. This time last year I was pissed that CBS had pulled the Reagan docudrama after the right wing zealots pitched a fit. Maybe it's good that I don't revisit these older entries; it's bad for the blood pressure.
