Y’know, despite the fact that I throw a crapload of links at you most every day, I find that I’m probably not doing the best I can for you, dear reader. Last night, whilst talking with them about many other things in this really wide-ranging conversation that is typical of us, because they have learned to take my detours in stride, the Granades mentioned that they’re far more likely to look at links if, you know, I leave some context for them. Makes sense: if I’ve taken time to do more than leave a breadcrumb, it’s probably worth you doing. [And many times, all I'm doing is leaving a breadcrumb for myself, Internet. After all, 3500 of the 4750 or so links I've tagged as of this writing are me breadcrumbing my comments in other locations. 3500 comments is nothin' ... I run a forum where I've got 80,000+ posts over the last four-ish years. ]

So I’m gonna try to leave you better context more often. I’ll probably fail; I mean, I do crappy entries like 20 Oct’s pretty often. But hey, I write for an audience that is larger than myself and Mom [hi, Mom!], so I owe it to you to leave more context. And maybe I can guilt Alex into reviving the fine context that made Around the web a must-read, even if it’s slipped a bit lately. [I know, dude, I know. Huge glass house I have here.]

And if I don’t, you can totally give me crap about it. And I will take it, and I will eat my words. Lotsa practice.
