Came away feeling slightly smarter than I was when I started, that is a real win, and a stop at globalfashionmarket added a bit more to that, the rare site that actually transfers some of its knowledge to the reader in a way that sticks rather than just creating an illusion of learning briefly.

Going to share this with a friend who has been asking the same questions for a while now, and a stop at yourtimeisnow added a few more pages I will pass along too, this is the kind of generous information that earns a small thank you from me right now and again later this week.

Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at freshvalueplace confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.

My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice, and a look at arctools pulled me back a third time, the actual return rate to bookmarked sites is the real measure of value and this one is clearing that measure at a notable rate already.

Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago, and a stop at freshtrendcollection kept that nostalgic quality alive, sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.
