Before we begin, a brief explanation of the change in format.
I'm trying out some new tech in this month's information diet summary. Below each link to an article I read, there's a clip (via clipboard.com) as well. You can click on any of the clips to get a better view of what I clipped from that article, as well as any comments I made, or comments other people who saw my clip made. I tried to extract either the most salient point, or an interesting picture, or something useful. In hindsight, some of the clips are crappy, and I'm working on that for the future. If you compare the clips at the end of the month to the ones at the beginning, I think you'll see that I'm starting to get the hang of things. Feel free to send me feedback.
