A Week's End Review of Noteworthy Links and Thoughts

Since it is Friday (yay!) and my mind is already racing ahead to weekend plans , I thought that rather than try to organize my thoughts, I'd share some interesting links that I came across this week that I thought would be worth passing on. I might be the only one, but I enjoy following a few different publications' weekly "round-up": Sojourners, the New York Times, and others; my husband likes Gizmodo's most interesting videos of the week every Friday. So here goes!
