Back on the grid

Some nefarious bastard backed into my internet cable a few days back and left me without connectivity. Apologies, dear fans, for the hiatus. We're back now...up and running for your enjoyment. Several choice links have piled up in the interim as have a few more reviews and that pesky Hierarchy of Needs piece that STILL hasn't been finished. For now, enjoy the following:

• The newest Felton report...this one charting his father's life. 
• Great basketball infographic summarizing every slam dunk contest since 1984. Via Infoaesthetics.
• A raft of news from the always-excellent aggregator, North Korean Economy Watch. 
• Japanese interview with Kim Jong-nam.
• Summary of North Korea's economic progress of the last 20 years.
• Presentation on Witness to Transformation: Refugee Insights into North Korea. Ignore the clunker jokes at the beginning. (And help the poor man out!)
• A couple posts about the food situation in the North. Compare these to the above summary. 

More to come.
