Links for the Week ending January 7, 2008.
In a feature I hope to include regularly on this site, I’ll be recapping the recent additions to my Del.icio.us bookmarks. I use Del.icio.us primarily to automatically post links to my main Web site, An Eclectic Mind. You can find those link entries in the This Just In category there. I’ll be echoing the links of interest to readers of my books here.
This first summary is from more than the past week. But you get the idea.
