We meet again!
Last time I did this I called it Dokter’s Weekly Biowaste. I didn’t have the time for it, which is why I stopped. But here I am again, giving it another go, because it was heaps of fun putting together this weekly collection of links and minor rants.
This time I will not give up and I’m going to do it a bit differently. Each weekly post will consist of three things; a short intro, like I’m writing now; a few collected links of the week; and a collection of random tweets.
Doing this weekly post means I will make an effort to only RT and tweet important links, and save these other things for later.
