It's time for a Project Management Linkfest!

I'm digging out from my recent braincation. I had an awesome time relaxing but I'm still working my way through a t-o-n of email. There's also a backlog of interesting pm & related articles to be read. Since I'm short on time, I thought I'd share some of them with you and have a Project Management Linkfest!
