Links to Articles You Should Read
My wife calls me "The Information Juggernaut" because of my ability to take vast quantities of information, synthesize it all, take only what's important and present it in an easy-to-understand form. Personally, I wish she'd call me "God's gift to women," but I'll take whatever compliments I can get.
I go through a lot of web resources and use Evernote to bookmark the ones I think will be worth reviewing.
Unlike everybody else, I'm not going to take screenshots and write a paragraph or two of commentary. My readers are big boys and girls. Just putting up links will let me update this page rather frequently.
