Here you’ll find some links. And then you’ll find some other links. Actually, you’ll find a lot of links (well, the term “a lot” is relative to what type of week I’ve been having). This is where I gather a lot of the things that for one reason or another caught my eye this past week. Just because I link something here doesn’t necessarily mean I endorse it, it just means that it interested me enough to pass along. Enjoy.
