There's a lot of cool stuff on the internet. I find it, because I spend way too much of my free time online. Time was, I had whole folders of bookmarks labeled "Interesting Things." (Not to be confused with the folder labeled "Interesting Thongs"). So I've decided to share my treasures, a roundup of everything that's caught my eye that week. Some of it will be familiar to you, some of it may be new. Let's explore, friends. Click the enlinkened words to go to the original article or site.
