Meryl Rules!!!! (And why it pays to back up bookmarks)

Meryl K. Evans is my new hero.

She has just posted the best list of visual-thinking resources EVER. Look here to see the most comprehensive list anywhere of visual thinking, information visualization, data representation, diagramming, and pictorial storytelling ideas.

The reason I'm personally so enthused about Maryl's list is because a month ago my hard-drive crashed. That tiny little "doubleclickclick" of death said tap-tap-hello.

Not to worry though, because I learned long ago (the hard way) to back up everything religiously. Except it had never occurred to me that I'd need to back up my bookmarks. (I know, DOH.)

Point being, I lost three years worth of web scouring and collecting. And along comes Meryl's list -- which above all IS BETTER THAN MINE! Whoopee! They're all back, and then some!

Anyway, thanks Meryl.

And yes, I now believe in del.icio.us.

I use http://www.furl.net to capture, categorize and keep all of my bookmarks. You can access them from any computer which is also very helpful.
