Happy Day-After-Halloween, folks, and hello to all the new readers! We like to give a roundup of other sites who wrote interesting things during the last week to 10 days or so, and we call it a Weekender. This is that feature.
Please pass us along to your friends - the currency of the web is pageviews, and you know we're vain enough to try harder the more eyeballs we have on these words...
