The Newsletter is light this week. But I'm not going to force it. Some weeks the intertubes give. Other weeks? Not so much.
Now, here in the U.S. of A. our annual Independence Day celebration is this Thursday. I'm thinking, everyone's gotten an early start on summer. Hence, not quite so many stories.
I'm also thinking that Tao HQ is taking next weekend off. No Newsletter next week. If you need a fix, just under the masthead is a link to our Web Archives. Feel free to catch up on what you may have missed these last few editions.
Enjoy this week's Newsletter. I'll see you in two weeks!
Happy Grading!
(and remember - if you have a story that's a fit for this Newsletter, hit reply or email it to 'newsletter@taoofcolor.com'! Include a quick reason for the suggested link.)
