THEMELESS MONDAY: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
PROGRAM: [Java]

Hey, who’s up for my latest New York Times puzzle? Get it here: [ACROSS LITE] [PDF]. Two for one on Monday, assuming you haven’t already done the Times puzzle. Enjoy it.
Speaking of enjoyment, the capital A Artists at Puzzability have been doing a real-time code-solving game sponsored by the Navy (yeah, that Navy). It’s called “Project Architeuthis” and you can solve it here. Impressive stuff with a nice overall immersive feel to the puzzles. What did you expect from the law offices of Shenk, Goldstein & Leighton?
Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.

Stunned that BEQ would clue 17A as “New Wave” given his musical leanings. I am sure we can find something on the web that refers to it as that style, but really?
Yeah, Dire Straits isn’t New Wave to me although maybe they debuted during that time. Tough but enjoyable puzzle. Thanks BEQ.

I think you accidently swapped the answers for 1A and 7D.
BEQ–hope you see this comment, Just installed latest Java update and now your puzzle won’t load.
Man, you rock. This puzzle is a great example of why I like doing your puzzles more than anyone else’s. Hard but gettable clues with fresh and fun answers. Multiple Aha moments, loads of fun, and brain scratching…..Thanks!
