This Weeks' Links: January 1, 2010

This is a series consisting of articles and postings that I found interesting and worth checking out. I have written a blog or two on some of them, but for the most part, I am just providing the category, headline and link itself.

Unfortunately, you will have to copy and past the URLs (Blogger rules), but hopefully, you will find them interesting too.
