  I do a fair amount of reading on the net and many times come across interesting and insightful stuff. But there was no easy way of recording these bits. Tried with wikis, notepad.yahoo, saving in text files, emailing, bookmarking etc. Bookmarks are good for organizing links / sites. But if you find only a certain paragraph of an article insightful there is no good way to annotate it. A blog seems the right medium for this kind of recording activity. Also, this blog is intentionally unfocussed. Its there to collect every interesting / thought provoking that stuff I come across.
