lI’m back with a new format

image

As you can see I have taken a new format when posting.  My main reason for doing this is because I feel I was spamming other outlets too much and I don’t really want to continue doing that.   I created a new web application that ties to Read It Later using their APIs and my code to create this link list.   The idea is to allow me to send out the links I want as easily as possible, but also allow me time to focus on one or two really cool things I find and want to talk about.  We will see if I have a lot to discuss.  Hopefully.
