Introduction

This blog is a throwback.  These days bloggers write about pretty much everything, but that is not where blogging began.  The term blog is adapted from "web log" and in the early days blogs were simply lists of sites the author had discovered which he or she thought others may also find interesting.

Then in addition to listing sites the blog authors added comments on them.  The comments grew and the blog link became lass prominent and, today, have pretty much disappeared.

So this blog is a throwback. It will be a list of websites.  I will add comments, but I'm not going to diversify into chat, my life history, my political opinions or any of the stuff that blogs today comprise.

Any questions?
