I’m going to try really hard to not constantly linkspam. However, I come across way too many things worth reading/watching, so you’ll probably be subjected to these linkdumps on a somewhat regular basis. I’m also always looking for new perspectives or new topics, so if you come across anything interesting, please send it my way. Hope you enjoy =)
