To help people find posts about different things, I wanted to index and highlight some specific posts here (as well as through the category links and tags - explanation here). This also makes them easier to read in the right sequence, and also makes it easier for me to find specific posts if I want to refer to them elsewhere.
I manually update this page once a month or so with posts I’d like to keep easily available. (last update June 14, 2008)
