Resources

While waiting to figure out the best way to preserve and catalogue resources that I find interesting or worth memorializing, I will use this page to keep track of links, articles, sites, and resources in general that I want to keep track of.

I’ll continue editing and refining this page indefinitely, and the current content is far from comprehensive, only representative of what I’ve recorded so far.
