Thank you, CNN, but you really shouldn’t have
I think I speak for Blake and all the rest of the Infendo crew when I say thank you very much, CNN, for the enormous, Infendo-themed hat tip your web development team gave our fine site today. Seriously, the new color scheme is almost too much. Thank you.
