Internet Discoveries of the Week: 06-30-2009 to 07-07-2009

I think that Tuesdays will become a day where I will be sharing discoveries I’ve made throughout the week. I like reading other’s blogs, articles and items from various places on the Internet. FriendFeed friends often point out articles and blog entries that appeal to my interest. So I’m going to be using Tuesday’s to share with you some of the best stuff I’ve read during the week. Some of it’s current, some of it’s old, but all of it I’ve read sometime this last week. Here’s this week’s greatness:
