We made it through July, spooky interpretations of Nostradamus aside (though some "true believers" claim we need to get to October before we're really out of the woods) But I digress! We've got another month of new creative work and a PalmPilot related ramble from yours truly. So get to reading, and enjoy the summer while it lasts-

(For the record, this issue marks 2 full years of the new Blender Digest format, with the first version of the Love Blender itself dating all the way back to late 1993...)

as always: read love & enjoy,
