+This is an unstructured list of web-sites I find interesting. I keep them here rather than as a collection of browser bookmarks as I find this format easier to structure. Some get pulled into more structured articles as references or 'further reading' and eventually removed from this list. So in a way, this is sort of a 'to-do list' or staging area.
