Revisited: "Housekeeping"
Delving into the depths of the past once again, the random numbers landed me on this origin story of sorts, from all the way back in 2008: "Housekeeping

On my computer at work, I have a Favorites folder called "Blog Fodder."

Fortunately, I no longer waste time at work, and my Blog Fodder list resides on my laptop. Nowadays, of course, these things are portable between devices, just when that feature became nearly useless to me.

Into it I drop the random links people send me, some of which end up here.

Every once in a while, someone will still send me a link, and I usually appreciate it. But I find most of my material from other sources. No, not social media, which I generally shun.

But there's usually more links than I want to blog about, or maybe some of them fit a theme while others don't.

Obviously, I ended up resolving this non-issue by picking just one at random when it's blogging time.

The rest of that entry was me cleaning house (hence the entry title) by dumping three links with brief quotes and commentary.

I won't bother rehashing that bit. The links are, remarkably, all still active as of right now, but being older and dumber now, I don't think I find them as amusing as I did 16 years ago.

And it's not really an origin story; apparently, I'd been commenting on links for a while even then. But that might have been the first time I explained anything about my process.
