Sunday Link Love - Labor Day Edition

Most of us in the United States will be enjoying a 3 day weekend due to the Labor Day holiday. According to Wikipedia, Labor Day is often regarded as a day of rest. The holiday originated in 1882 as the Central Labor Union of New York City sought to create "a day off for the working citizens". Congress made the day a federal holiday in 1894. Labor Day also marks the beginning of the season for the NFL and NCAA College football.

I'm planning to go hang out on the lake with some friends today and I'll be having a day of rest tomorrow. Before I head out, I wanted to highlight some of the articles I've enjoyed from my Feedreader this past week.
