No wise fish would go anywhere without a porpoise

I'm sticking this to the top for as long as it remains applicable.

At the moment, this is just a convenient place to store links, articles and occasional notes while I sort them for my weekly e-mail. I imagine that I'll also put up short prose pieces from time to time, in an attempt to reduce the number of twitter-length e-mails I send each day. Labels and tags will also be useful.

One more note - I will only be crediting and quoting people by initials for the moment.
