Jeremy Keith rounds up some of the digital ink spilled recently re: the end of #Edge.

So far, my #3DayWeekend has been quite productive: I got to play #paintball for the first time, did some yard work, played #Magic, did some more yard work, and now I'm kicking back with a Piña Colada, watching "Big Trouble in Little China", and getting my #WebDev on.
