I got Brad's new blog puzzle in Across Lite. How psyched are we that he's doing Saturday Stumpers now?

Speed-Solving Videos
Here are the two videos from today...

NY Times:
LA Times:
I did open the files to sneak a peek at the author before solving, but I promise I didn't see any of the clues beforehand! I think that's enough showing off, so I don't plan to make any more videos. But if any constructors would like to "see" me solve their puzzles when they come out, contact me and I'll make a recording.

I recorded my solves today -- will upload a couple to YouTube. The LAT and ND both could have been at 1:10 if not for a few stray errors and typos...
Also, I updated the sidebar with sources of variety cryptics. Gonna print out a whole slew of them for when I go out of town next month!
