You may have noticed that there were no new posts on this blog this week. There's no reason for this except that to write a post requires both inclination and inspiration. and I have been lacking in the former all week. I actually sat down 3 times and wrote barebones outlines of posts. I'm sure you'll see them in the future, but I just didn't have the interest in finishing them this week. I did, however, put together a short list of the best junk I've seen on the web this week. Enjoy, and I will do my best to get back at it next week.
