Ball State Links: The Two-Week Disappearance

Sorry for the nearly two-week disappearance.  As I've said before, this is partially why I was reluctant to start this in the first place, because I tend to be lazy.  So I will continue to make excuses for why I haven't posted anything.  But today's a new day, and I really want to try to make daily posts.  Hopefully, I actually do this.

Alright, on to the links!
