This week's Bonus View Digest is being typed in a drug-induced haze. No, I wasn't up all night partying – not those kinds of drugs. Instead I, Aaron Peck, was up all night with my first cold of the New Year. Great way to start it off huh? Well, at least when I was up at 4:00 am in the morning I had nothing else to do but read all the great stuff that even I miss sometimes on our blog.
As I sniffed, coughed, and sneezed through the night – all the while cursing the cold drugs for not working like they promised they would – I was able to catch up on all of this week's great articles that were posted on the blog. Check out what you may have missed.
