The weekly roundup of links offering a selection of the articles and blog posts that have recently attracted my attention. Mid-term work continues to limit my reading time and, consequently, has limited the number of links.

The weekly roundup of links offering a selection of the articles and blog posts that have recently attracted my attention. Too much work has prevented me from reading as much as I would have liked and, consequently, has limited the number of links.
