Friday Links and Fine HTTP Wares for September 4, 2009
I’m out of town this week without much of a consistent Internet connection, and I haven’t had any time to scour the web for the usual bits of greatness that I usually do. So, in sneaking bits here and there between obligations, here are some things you should click on. Really. Do it for my
