Here we have another lame non-post claiming that I’ve been to busy to write about anything exciting.  Wasn’t last week (eventually) cool, though?  Didn’t you like the fractal program?

No…you didn’t?

Fine.  I’ll optimize it.  Provide source code.  Add more features.  Improve rendering.  Support deeper searching.  Will that make you happy?  You think I’ll never do it!  You’re probably right but there’s no reason to say it out loud.  That’s how people’s feelings get hurt.

That and having no one actually read their blogs.

It’s a little late, but here is some of what caught my attention during the week:
