We’re not as sick as Dirk, but we do have a mild case of “Wesnoth-itis.” Symptoms include the desire to sit in a darkened room and play Battle for Wesnoth all day. Hey, it happens to everyone.

BTW, we have recently discovered this interesting blog called “Monkeys in the News” — but a lot of it is stuff we’ve covered well here at the Beat: monkeys overrunning towns in India, monkeys learning to move things with their brains, endangered bonobos, etc etc etc. We are closely monitoring it to bring you the very latest developments should they become available.
