A few years back, I had a somewhere else chronicle on this blog, that was (almost) a daily review of interesting things I found on the internet. I did stop since it was simply a duplicate of links that I post on twitter. Nevertheless, people keep asking me to run it again. So I will try, but only on a monthly basis. It might be a bit long, with some old posts (today, there are two weeks of tweets), but again, please let me know if missed something worth reading...
