Nice curated list of websites. It'd be a shame if something were to happen to them...

I actually caught myself reading through a bunch of these articles and that surprised me, because I have more interest in becoming a lamp post than I have in becoming a CTO. It really speaks to the quality of the list you've curated here. Thank you for sharing.

Things tend to disappear on the internet, though. I can no longer show you my "Buffy The Vampire Slayer Fan Page" that I made on geocities, for instance. Luckily, thanks to archive.org there's ways to make sure - or at least reasonably assure at this point - that the articles don't suddenly jump behind a paywall or disappear when someone decides to refresh/revamp their site.

Have you considered starting a "collection" at the internet archive and then putting the URL's in your list in them so that it will go out and grab them now, while we know they exist? If you haven't, I think you should. Theres another reason keeping an archive collection of them is nice: They will be able to be viewed without ads, or the dreaded shadow-box claiming you need to sign in to read past the first paragraph. I'd just hate to see something that is high quality and obviously meant enough to share get wrecked by the nature of our modern, commercial, internet.
