The Weekly Splat

In which I wrap up about a month's worth of events in what should have only been about a week. I'll make no guarantees on when the next episode will be, or what it will be about.  It depends on a lot of things, but trust me, if there's something worth covering, I'll cover it.  The best place to know when and where something is coming down the pipeline will be on Twitter!
