The links that bind

Earlier this week my department finally started upgrading the office computers to Windows 7 and Office 2010, which by the way is crazy weird coming from the 2003 version, and in the process I lost all my Firefox bookmarks.

The greatest of these losses were the recipe links, but a number of them came from blogs that I regularly follow so it shouldn’t be too hard to find them (I hope). I also lost my web comics, but since those get visited on an almost daily basis it wasn’t hard to repopulate them. That said, it was still a bit of a scare so I figured I’d take a moment to list them here in case of future catastrophes and also because they are awesome websites and you should visit them.
