deciphering my past self
Jan. 13th, 2009 09:41 pmi'm starting to realize how utterly useless web browser bookmarks are, because no matter how meticulously i organize them, i inevitably end up just junking them in the main bookmarks folder because it's loads faster than combing through the intricate folder system i've set up (i have a lot of bookmarks, yes). periodically i try to clean out the old ones but in this case i think it's been since 2006-- and apparently due to our growing fast lane tech age it's been long enough that some of the webpages (*gasp*) don't even exist anymore. more often though i'm just left wondering why the hell i ever bookmarked some of this shit in the first place.
i think perhaps i was reading this detailed article about educational malpractice as homework for my teaching seminar, back in the days when i was enthusiastic and so sure i was going to be an awesome TA-- y'know, right before i got my dreams crushed-- but i find it's almost impossible to say for sure. it doesn't even look familiar to me.
and why on earth was i ever interested enough in binary systems to actually bookmark a page on them?
at some point i guess i must have wanted under cabinet lighting, though i really don't remember what that was all about.
finally there's a webpage for www.utopiaexperiment.com, which doesn't exist. perhaps it referred to this utopia experiment? if that's the case did i bookmark it simply because i wish i'd been there? who knows?
