Linkology: The Best of the Internet for 4/16/10
Not a lot of energy for editorial today, mainly because I’m way behind on sleep because I’m a hockey zealot and incapable of not watching a Red Wings playoff game, no matter how late. And tonight, for game two, I’ll be up just as late as two nights ago, hopefully less frustrated, but still yelling at the TV like an imbecile. And if things go really well, maybe tonight’s game will be officiated by refs with functioning eyeballs. One can dream.
Anyhow, here is this week’s collection of fine hypertext products. Enjoy.
