Article Round-Up

I knew it had been a while but I hadn't realized it has been over a month since I last posted.  The holidays and life have gotten in the way and kept me fairly busy.  Additionally the last couple weeks politically have been more than enough that I haven't felt like doing much of anything in a while.  I'm back though, just with some interesting articles, but do have plans for three or four posts coming up; they're all related to resources I've created at work, but that I found out more information about than could fit in those resources.  I'm not exactly sure of a time frame for those, but since I already have the research and just have to write the posts and find images, they should go pretty easily and will come out soon.  Now, articles!
