Recommendations

A blogger I admire, Gio, has this really nifty Recommendations page and I realised that I would love to create something similar. As Gio does, I will avoid recommending ubiquitous commercial products on this list in order to be useful. I add to this my own rule: everything listed here, which are mostly essays but are sometimes videos and sometimes stories and sometimes just interesting little nooks of the web, in chronological order, will be freely available on the internet, just a click away.
