Commonplace of a Magpie
In college, I used to cut out articles from newspapers and tear out the articles from magazines that I wished to keep. Later, I photocopied reports, articles, and essays. Later still, with the advent of near universally accessible computers, printers and the internet, I printed out that in which I was interested. Now I will try and just use a blog to park those dozen or so items a day that I skim, find interesting and/or aggravating, and intend to come back to later.
