Links of the Week is a regular feature on this blog where I list some of the most interesting links I've found during the previous week - sort of a "best of" from my Google Reader Shared Items. The idea is that I pick out a set of links that I might have wanted to write about or that I found especially thought-provoking or useful. I might or might not agree with the posts or items I link to, but I found them to be something I wanted to share.
On to the links:
