I still haven't figured out a naming convention for these posts. Suggestions welcome. Here are my 6 Links for this week…

These are my “Six Links for Saturday”. Interesting and fun stuff I like to share. These posts take a surprising amount of work to assemble, so if you appreciate this, please comment, share, or in some other way let me know it's worth the effort.
