Hey guys! It’s Saturday, and that means you get my weekly collection of interesting links! You probably noticed that there was no Anonymous Tip post yesterday. I am extremely sorry about that. Life hit, and with it a series of unfortunate events that prevented me from writing the post. I was going to give it to you late today, but now the book has disappeared! I’m hopeful that I’ll find it, and if I find it while it is still this weekend, I’ll write up an installment and post it. Otherwise I’ll order a new (used) copy and you’ll get your next post this Friday, or the next if it takes longer to arrive.

Anyway, here are some links! Share yours too!
