Great Things I’ve Read — April 13

For those of you who are new to the site this week, I keep a list in my sidebar of the great things I’ve read through Google Reader. They have a Share function that makes it easy to — well — share particularly interesting posts. I try to always put them in a post when I’ve built up 10 or so so that you RSS subscribers see them as well, but regular readers will tell you that I’m notoriously inconsistent. Witness this latest batch with 17 entries. Sorry about that.
