We’ll kick off this week’s Sampler with a little bit of stillspinning news. We got our very first comment spam this week. I’m glad to see we’ve caught the eyes of spammers - it means we’ve managed to get found my people who didn’t get a link.

Okay, and awayyyy we go.

• There’s a new girl on my team at work, M. M reminds me of me when I was in high school; it is actually sort of scary. M sends me her daily report she always includes a short message. The last two have been really good. “I say squee” and “Doing a German Dance”.
• The Canadian and Dutch have been in an on-going land dispute over a piece of rock sitting near the Artic Ocean. Both nations have sent officals and troops to the rock, though thus far the battle has been limited to bits of litter representing each nation’s culture. Maybe the UN should send sAme peace keeping troops to keep things under control. (source)

Sorry there wasn’t a lot for this week’s sampler.? Maybe next week…
