Amy's post perfectly sums up the reason I set up my own blog. There is no way to remember everything, and when you do need it, you can't recall the context, or where to look. Sorting things out in my own blog, as my own personal research medium still has limitations, but its paid dividends for me.
So now my blog should be renamed "my back-up brain".
Blogging for Brain Augmentation: Contentious Weblog
My brain is not enough! Too often, thoughts occur to me, or connections become apparent, that I very much wish to remember and use... but then along comes a flood of additional thoughts, and distractions, and minutiae, and so my moments of clarity dissolve into the infohaze.
I hate that.
