What is Backup Brain?

Backup Brain is a joint project of Tom Negrino and Dori Smith.

Dori had been thinking about doing a weblog for a while, but couldn't figure out a good reason why. She also had a brain that felt like it was exploding trying to remember where all the good stuff was that she'd seen on the web. A bookmark file wouldn't work, as she didn't want to have to look at them all the time; she just wanted to be able to search somewhere (anywhere!) and find things that she'd seen before. She decided one day that what she needed a "backup brain"—offsite storage of her memory—somewhere to store all those links she knew she'd want again someday.

That idea, combined with cool software from ~~Blogger~~ Movable Type, gave her the idea of what to do with a weblog. It's now a storage place for all those cool sites that Tom & Dori come across that they want to share with each other, you, and themselves.
