Monday Mutant 129: Streaming Content / Tetra Firma
Shade in tetrominoes in simultaneous accordance with the rules of Streaming Content and the rules of Tetra Firma. (As the grid isn't partitioned into regions, the rule of Tetra Firma that every region contains one tetromino is waived.)
Is it possible to create a 10x10 puzzle with these rules and only 4's as givens? I don't doubt it, but I lack the patience to do so at this time. Maybe one of my clever readers can accomplish it. :)
Monday Mutant 128: Cross the Streams
Shade in some cells black such that the black cells are all connected to
each other through their edges, and no 2x2 cell area within the grid
contains all black cells. Numbers to the left of a row or above a
column represent the groups of consecutive black cells which are in
that row or column. For example, a clue of "3" means the row or column
has three consecutive black cells, and a clue of "3 1" means that the
row or column has a group of three consecutive black cells followed
by a single black cell, separated by at least one white cell. A
question mark (?) represents a group of consecutive black cells whose
size is unknown; an asterisk (*) represents any number of unknown
groups of black cells, including none at all.

Monday Mutant 126: Bridged Series (prime/composite)
In this Bridged Series puzzle, the prime numbers 2, 3, 5, and 7 are represented by P, and the composite numbers 4, 6, and 8 are represented by C. The rules are otherwise unchanged.
Rules -- Bridged Series
Bridged Series was invented by the Japanese puzzle company Nikoli (under the name Hashiwokakero).
1. Draw horizontal and vertical bridges (diagonal bridges are not allowed) between the islands according to the following rules.
2. A number on an island indicates how many bridges are connected to that island.
3. At most two bridges can connect a pair of islands.
4. A bridge may not cross over an island or another bridge.
5. All of the islands must be connected via the bridges. (It must be possible to get from any island to any other island using the bridges.)
