Alrighty, here's another update of news we've collected over the weekend. Also, just a notice, our Events page will be under going a massive overhaul in the next couple of days. Right now it's kind of a mess, but that will change. As a reminder - this blog is in beta. We'll probably do a hard launch in May. Just wait until we get our Resources page up, you'll be up until 1 am .... uh, like I am now. ONWARD WITH THE NEWS.
