Lincoln's Missing Bodyguard: Defintely worth your time to read all the way to the end. Just fascinating.

Full history dump for English Wikipedia is back: The amount of human activity displayed at Wikipedia is just staggering. Such a great resource.

"Design Outside the Box": Fantastic talk at this year's DICE conference by Jesse Schell, on the future of games, and game design. Includes a great look back at recent history, a nice dig at the iPad, and then a pretty plausible look at what's to come. Highly recommended.
