Executive Summary | Links for your weekend | 05.13.11 [belated]

Someone left a Happy Mother's Day balloon on my bike last weekend. No, I don't have any news for you.

Better late than never, right? The Blogger outage of 2011 (Thursday and Friday) gave me a few days of computer-free bliss, and now I'm getting back on track (or will be come Monday). Currently I'm hunkered down in my little apartment with the heater on while cold rain and hail pelt the Sacramento area. It's May, right?

Anyhoo, here are some links! I haven't checked my Google Reader since Thursday, so these are still your average Fri-Thurs links (any good reads I find from this weekend will be in next week's links).
