Mondays; always a trying day as I try to get up to speed for the week's work, try to finish up projects started at home over the weekend, and attempt to catch up on the flood of weekend Net traffic. (I'm still trying to decide if my lack of a Net connection at home is a good or a bad thing.)

A collection of links to start the week off:

• An excellent column by Monte Cook on how to be a professional game designer.
  
• Passed along by Doctor Chris, wacky hot sauces.
  
• A specially-built gaming table. While I like the idea, the setup seems to isolate the players a bit more than I would personally enjoy. I want to see more of my friends than their heads while we play.
