Note from the Editor:
Apparently DW is having problems showing embedded YouTube vids at the moment. We have one or two linked from this week's issue, so if you can't see the vid at the time of posting, check back later and it should show up. If not, I will link to those entries again in the next issue - we don't want you to miss out, after all.
