Sorry for the lack of updates this weekend, but with a major rush at work last Thursday and friday getting ready for the holiday weekend, and with a weekend where I just wanted to relax and watch some newer movies, there wasn't a whole lot of extra time for updates. Anyway, there's one new press release to report today.
