Upon installing a new harddrive in my laptop, I needed to reinstall the system. After doing that I was rather annoyed at having to reload some of my settings, including web bookmarks. Additionally, when doing this kind of clean system sweep, I tend to get the itch to try alternative programs. For web browsers, the biggest barrier to trying another program is that all my bookmarks live in my long standing browser of choice - Apple’s Safari. Naturally, I looked for solutions. There are ways to import bookmarks, but then what if I want to go back? There are some programs independent of the browser that keep track of bookmarks, but what if I decide I don’t like that program or I am on a public computer?

I just rediscovered it looking through bookmarks for things worth sharing. There are some real classics, and the art curator descriptions generally send me into a second, heartier round of laughter.
