So the big news from the cblog community this weekend was that it's apparently Colette and Samit's birthday. If you didn't know this, then you definitely did not look at the blog section this weekend, because there were "Happy Birthday" blogs posted all over the community front page. Lots of people came out of the woodwork to say Happy Birthday to them both, though I have to say that Colette definitely took the prize for the most blogs written about her in one day. She beat Samit out by a long shot. Better luck next time man.

Before I end this and move on to the recap, I just wanted to send my own personal birthday wishes out to both Colette and Samit. I have never met either of you, but I would definitely like to one day. Hopefully alcohol and gaming would be involved. Happy Birthday you two. Thanks for everything you have done for this site and this community!

Ok now time for this weekend's recaps ...
