But for an unorganized pack rat like myself 2008 was about one thing: hoarding as much garbage as possible (for next winter of course). So when I took tt upon myself to organize and clear some files on my laptop I was not surprised to find a file hidden in the corner of my cluttered desktop. Seemingly having been there since the beginning of time, or at least July of of 2008, I dusted off the old folder to discover that it read "links I have yet to read," Being busy with school, work, and school work, I had been grabbing interesting links and tossing them into a desktop folder for later reading. Now ladies and gentlemen, I shall share some of the contents of this folder with you.
P.S.
I really wanted to work in a reference to the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Er, maybe next time?
