Bits and Bobs from the Twitter-verse

I have this habit of sending links from Twitter to my email account under the belief that I will read them later in the day. Weeks later, when there are about a bazillion links in my Twitter email folder, I no longer remember what I sent myself. Today, I thought I would be diligent and look through the folder before it got super-huge again. Here are a few I'm glad I saved:
