The Weekest Links 30Nov2011

The second of my weeks worth of links (this is actually two weeks worth as I was off last week)  And it is still only a collection of links without a reference frame other than "stuff i am looking at".  Good enough for now.

The Weekest Links 1

I am going to make Wednesdays the day that I share links of things that I am reading (or watching or playing etc), or want to read that haven't yet warranted special attention but I think are worth looking at.  There will likely be themes to the content that indicate a path of interest as well as random things that are simply entertaining.   I expect to start making this a bit more organized now that I am going to share them with intent rather than simply saving them for my own reference.   But for now, deal with the mess.
