Straddling the border between useless and cool

Image via Wikipedia

Dickens URL is a service that will not only give you a short link to your site, but assigns it with a quote from Dickens.

Thus this blog can now be reached at:

http://dickensurl.com/8ab6

which unfurls to:

http://dickensurl.com/8ab6/There_is_a_wisdom_of_the_Head_and__there_is_a_wisdom_of_the_Heart

Because the site has somehow decided that this quote :

There is a wisdom of the Head, and ... there is a wisdom of the Heart.

is the most appropriate for this blog.

++++

In other news, this post is being created using Zemanta, which is a plug-in designed to help streamline blogging by selecting contextual clues and using them to generate links and find images for your posts. Thus the picture of Dickens and the link to go purchase Hard Times.


Perhaps if I am in an obnoxious mood, I will start enabling all the links that it suggests.
