I've been skimming through my notes recently and I've been thinking about a good way to organize things electronically.
Inspired by a post in Bioinformatics Zen, I decided to use a wiki (not MediaWiki, as it's really overkill), and I chose DokuWiki. However I think most of my research is done by taking daily notes, therefore a wiki is not really a good option because daily posts have to be created manually.

Hello.
I'm almost done with my Ph.D. thesis, and while looking for some critical views of Gene Ontology I've stumbled over an interesting blog post by Kay on the subject. He quotes some papers which I promptly added in the thesis's references, but I would like to add also some of his blog posts in the reference. Has anyone ever added blog posts to their references? Is this an acceptable practice?
