Why Create This

I wanted to create this page to keep track of helpful resources that I found around the web. The bookmarks tab for the search engine that I use is not really helpful beyond a certain number of links, and it is sometimes hard to remember why I bookmarked a certain page or why the page is useful. Below, you can explore the links that I have saved or search for a link with a description of what you are looking for.
