Dear Identity Theory Readers,
It’s been too long—seriously, way too long—since our last newsletter.
We’ve published a ton of good stuff in the months since our last email, and in that time, the world…has changed quite a bit. And I was thinking about those old websites, the ones that would display nothing but links, lots and lots of links, without comment, the classic link pages before blogrolls, early beacons to other little points of light on the internet, and I thought, maybe we could do one of those this newsletter, one time, just to catch up on the past few months, just to get something out into the world, to get back on track.
So, below you will find a bunch of links posted in that spirit. (Except, you know, they pretty much all go to our website.)
Also, here’s your weekly cartoon:
