Reads from the week of Jan 3

I’m a sharing kind of guy, so I decided to keep track of things I find online that are interesting and post the links at the end of the week. This certainly isn’t a clever or original idea, but hopefully you guys will find some of the things useful. At the very least, it’ll help me archive stuff I’ve found. Who needs bookmarks?
