    A brief bit of unsolicited advice before I get to the link party: I just want to tell all of you that there is absolutely nothing that limits you from teaching yourself whatever you’re interested in and seeking out additional educational avenues. I wasn’t getting the writing experience I wanted from my academic classes or my job, so…

    This week was crazy, and it looks like the pace will only increase. But I did have some time to read: 1. $3 gas in the United States is actually a really bad thing. I wondered why it was so low. 2. The history and etymology of the penny. 3. Has anyone else ever noticed…
