Week in Review

It has been a long and productive week here at WMD and elsewhere (more on that in a bit) and I thought it would be interesting to recap all of the releases, statements and key stories.

Two announcements:

1) I (Matt) have accepted a new gig as a freelance contributor to Examiner.com. Check out the links to the two stories I have posted thus far over there at the bottom of the link list.

2) Mark is also doing some reviews over at Buckeye Boogeyman. The link for his debut over there is at the bottom of the link list.

PLEASE take the time and visit the these new sites as supporting them supports us and we appreciate it when y'all do that!
