"Lists of hyperlinks are the future of the web!" cries Anil Dash in his well futuristic list of hyperlinks. I'll echo that, but only because I'm really lazy, and posting a naked hyperlink is easier than link plus commentary.

So I've automated the process on Mac OS X. A link dragged to my desktop posts to my weblog automatically. (The machine-writable www is so much less effort than the machine-readable one.) How? All the details are in Lazy Mac OS X: Weblog links sidebar.

This is the first in what might well be a series of articles about how to hack things together in potentially useful (and pro-lazy) ways. Something that on OS X is within everybody's reach. I'm trying to explain as much as possible for that first nudge up the learning curve. There's not enough of that out there at the moment.
