Friday Links (Live and Let Die Edition)

We've reached the final Friday in January. In just two days the Seattle Seahawks are going to play in the Superbowl again, and while I do not expect them to obliterate their opponents as they did last year (we didn't just mop the floor with the Broncos, we stomped the Broncos until they were the floor, and then we mopped them), but I do believe we're going to beat the Patriots. Go Hawks!

Anyway, here is a collection of news and other things that I ran across over the course of the week which struck me as worthy of being shared:
