So, here we are, I did it again, so thats pretty awesome. In other development, I was approached by Fluffypony to become involved in missive podcasts! So, thats going to happen. We chatted today at some point and he's currently making it sound pretty. We never ironed out whether we would publish the podcast with this digest, so I'm just gonna go ahead and publish the digest.
Like I said, I'm going to try and compile all the fun stuff that has happened in MoneroWorld (someone buy that domain!) in the past week, so the fluffyponies and farting unicorns and latapies can keep doing what they're doing, and us non-devs can keep finding bugs. If you can't code, you should try and run the code. If you can document that something doesn't work, and specifically how its not working, that can really help the core dev team.
Code
Official stuff that happened on github ( I literally copied the pulse page)

You probably heard of the Monero Missives, our regular newsletters.
But do you know the Monero Mixxives?
Vanderi is the resident DJ of Monero, entertaining the community for months. Notice how the titles of its mixes reflect the events of the time (like fhe "FUD fuck" or some dedicated mixes).
