Note: Today’s Monday’s Melange post has been preempted by Inchies. Sorry, but I wanted to spend time making Inchies, not looking through bookmarks! Inchies: It’s what’s for dinner!

I’ve been bitten by this bug that carries this highly contagious disease for which there is no known cure, and the only symptomatic relief available is to make more and more tiny little works of art.
