Things I'm quickly looking at

I've been super busy lately and haven't been able to keep up with my feed reading like I'd like to. Obviously my posting has slowed quiet a bit also. Today I've got a little breathing room so I decided to post links to several articles that I saw that I quickly looked at and found to be of interest or value. If you haven't already done so check them out.
