I cannot more emphatically endorse the latest posts from Senor Weaselo on Marble Racing. OMG you guys, you have to check them out! The videos are a lot of fun and the announcer is really good at making the action interesting. It's part art vérité, part satire, and

So, that was a week, wasn't it? It was a very strange, surreal, sad, and something other that starts with an S week. However, by the end, it was also sweet. Wait, that starts with an S too! The reaction on this site to the events of last week makes

As you all know from Don T's Wednesday post, the man we all knew as tWBS passed away on Monday. FWIW, as he would write, it seems he passed away in his sleep without suffering. So, that's something. Many of us got to know him in real life and we're lucky
