Links 3-08-08 to 3-25-08

Spring break and the later part of the semester have been absolutely KILLING me for time. And that doesn't even factor in the time I've been spending coaching my son John's 12 and under travel baseball team, the Perkins Patriots. So besides being woefully behind on grading, trying to pass third year reappointment, trying to get a couple of articles written, learn to make my own golf clubs (and then get to actually use them), and being completely distracted by Twitter, I haven't blogged much. BUT I'M RESOLUTE; I'm back in the game . . .

So here are the links from the last three weeks. I think I'm going to have to start just doing a daily links post (when necessary) like the Cool Cat Teacher does.
