Adam Fitzgerald and I started (based on some discussion with Keith Donald in January 2011) fresh from the 2010 holidays. Since then I've done my level-headed best to publish it every week (no exceptions! no missed weeks!) before midnight in Hawaii on Tuesday, every week, no matter what timezone I find myself in for that week! The world's a big place, so from the perspective of someone sitting in, say, New…
