 A few fallacies, for your consideration... #1 is my personal favorite, correlation vs causality.
Speaking of fallacies, Minimum Wage, Maximum Ignorance. "Once upon a time, the minimum wage, like free trade, was a basic test of whether you were awake in the first week of econ 1." Of all the liberal economic canards, this one is my favorite. Socialism does not work, period. 
[Update: Elizabeth Warren: Minimum Wage Would Be $22 An Hour If It Had Kept Up With Productivity. This is a beautiful example of both fallacies highlighted above, combined!]
Paul Graham: The Final Pinch. "There may be nothing founders are so prone to delude themselves about, as how interested investors will be in giving them additional funding." Ouch.
 This is pretty cool: Tableware appears to sink into the table. These mats could be useful for explaining gravity :)
Ev Williams, founder of Blogger, Twitter, and Medium, [re]launches a venture fund called Obvious Corp. Cool!
 And finally, I agree with Kottke: this skiing line of the year is batshit crazy. Just when you think you've seen everything, you realize "everything" is so much more than you thought.
