I don't blog much but do tweet which is a way of sharing resources that might be worth reading. Here is a batch of previous tweets from the last four months. I myself draw upon my tweets for illustrations in teaching and having them on a website makes them easy to search. I understand the format is not pretty (because I have not gone through and edited out all of the twitter formatting) but if someone wants to find some great things to read, maybe they will find some good nuggets here. I do recommend Twitter as a great place to share resources: "I read this. It is interesting." Join!
