Once a week, I’ll be rounding up a list of articles and links that caught my eye throughout the workweek from a wide variety of sources. You may notice that this post is coming to you on a Saturday this week, but I’m not quite sure if that format is going to stick. I’m still trying to get into a rhythm with my posts, but I think going forward I’ll try to get this out on Sunday. Thoughts? Also, I’d love to see your thoughts in the comments about if you are finding this format useful. So, lets get to the good stuff!
