Howdy folks – We’re starting something different as of this week. Weekly roundups will be posted on Tuesday from here on out. HOWEVER: if you’d still like to get them on Mondays, add your email address to our mailing list, and we’ll make sure you get it a whole day earlier than anyone else.

Cheers,
Aaron
