Since I found that I often stuble on links to interesting things, but never or only rarely blog about them on chris blogs, I thought I’d create another blog, Anarchaia where I can keep links, quotes, lines of lyrics and pictures. Now and then I’ll interspense some ramblings, but the editorial content will stay less than a paragraph. This section is an exception.

The format of the blog will be quite like Dave Winers scripting.com, except for the annoying links to Scoble. Also, it’s not my fault that RSS and OPML exist and look what they are. :-)
