If you are a regular reader of this blog the main articles will not be new to you. Twitter Notes are some of my tweets and retweets that I’ve selected because they contain links to resources or announcements that may be of general interest. I have unshortened the shortened URLs so you have a better idea of where the links are going to and in some cases added extra comments.
