In which I endeavor to collect, catalogue, and contemplate One Million Splotz of Glue.
I wanted to build a community todo list so that we could array the results of the silly workshops. No such application existed, and according to my friend Mike, all the cool programmers already have dates to the prom. Who knew? But, I will accept that as the answer as to why […]

Links and bounces for Saturday, 10 March 2007 (because the conversation spreads across the room and sometimes out of earshot).
No bounces yesterday, as it was journeying across the pond and ends up in France.
