[06/03/2004]   The end of May and beginning of June marks a transitioning phase for a lot of people, with graduations of all sorts happening what seems like daily. I personally have gone to three cousins' worth of graduations in almost as many days, and the monotony of a fruitless job-search has been thankfully abated by the celebrations, parties, and related fanfare that accompany such milestones. I'd like to extend a hearty congratulations to all seniors, high school and college alike, for persevering through the good and bad on the road towards a higher education. That diploma you are holding is more than a fancy sheet of laminated paper - it is a symbol of your ambition, passion, desire, and most of all, your talent. Here's to hoping you all go onward and upwards from here.

Before you do go anywhere though, you might want to go ahead and check out this week's batch of reviews. In addition to chipping down Roku and Otterland's respective backlogs, we also have some nice reviews from two relatively new faces, rounded out with a pair of staff reviews. Read, enjoy, and I'll see you on the boards.
