Quotes

I often want to keep track of little "stuff" I find in books or on the web--quotes I find interesting or writing samples I want to plagiarize. For example, a while ago I was reading a blog about a guy who works for a major oil company building oil and gas infrastructure on Sakhalin Island on the Pacific coast of Siberia. You don't expect to find jokes in such a place. But I found this when he described working with Russians: "In English, I was supervising a group of Russians whose enthusiasm often took the form of suicide." Lol. Copy that sucker down.  Anyway, I thought I would put it online, in part because I just want access to it when I need it.  My collection here.

If you are curious, I use this self-contained html file as a wiki. Adding on TiddlySnip in a Firefox browser let's you right-click any selection of text and adds it to that html file. Then I just wrote a small automator script on my mac to take that local file and ftp it to my hosted space. Voila!
