(Sorry for the delay everyone… only two days ago I made a change of employment which resulted in a dramatic modification of my schedule. The abrupt shift in waking hours has tossed a wrench in the Damn Interesting works. With luck, we’ll have something new tonight, but in the meantime we’ve exhumed yet another dried article-corpse from the catacombs. Mmmmm… info-jerky.)
