Now though, that it is sinking in, I may have been right after all, but on an oh so deep abstraction layer. I had taken it to mean the continuous postponement of all the things I caught with my attention and which flitters across the wires everytime my Firefox browser crashes and the 100+ tabs reload - reminding me of all the things I want to write about, but am continuously postponing in order to get the highest priority things done.

Any Firefox deelopers who are interested in talking with a interaction designer who does not code, please contact me. Will try out this <a HREF="https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1122&application=firefox" rel="nofollow">Tab Mix Plus</A> and let you know how it goes...

For me it really is something that needs to be managed. Which requires a drag and drop interface for the contextual specificly designed for the needs of the situation.

In two different browsers. A lot of it for me is that "to do" list of links; pages that seem important and that I really want to write about but Not Right Now because I don't have time. In fact, the more important they are, the more I want to do them justice with a well-thought-out post or comment. Weeks later I realize I never got around to it - not because I didn't care, but because I cared so much I didn't want to be sloppy. In theory tagging should help me with this, or some way to flag pages "do something with this" or "look at me again" and then unflag them later, very handily.
