Weekend Reads: April 10

Stacks of 10-page papers and a newborn daughter have stolen my writing time lately, and probably will for the next few weeks. That gives me a good excuse to link to a few articles that caught my interest lately. I'm hoping to make this posting a weekly occurrence, and use the blog not only for my writing but to share some of the things I've been reading.
