happyman- Veldew is a character from the deleted ending. He is pretty much the same character  (minus shaking) as the old Terrisman that Elend meets outside Luthadel. This led me to believe that he was the same character (Hoid).

My bad.  I don't have a lot of time for surfing, so I didn't look closely.

...at manipulating Shadesmar for his own ends.
Well, now I'm confused as to true nature of Shadesmar. I originally thought it just to be a mirror image of Roshar, but this implies that it's a universal hub of some sort... hopefully I don't have to dive into realmatic theory to figure this out?

Oh, that.  Somewhere deep in one of these threads, Brandon mentioned that Shadesmar was the name of the Cognitive Realm.  That had me confused too, until someone went through the trouble of pulling it out for me. :P  So, sorry but, yes, you need to go into Realmatic Theory to understand it. ;)  Presumably, all worlds are connected to the Shadesmar, but I guess SLA is going to be the first series to use it in any way.  (I think I found this in the Hero of Ages Spoiler thread.)
*Edit* After searching long and hard... I still haven't found it.  It's somewhere in one of these threads though!

Nope. Barnes and Nobles.

Each of the 'Shardworlds' I've written in (Mistborn, Elantris, Warbreaker, Way of Kings) exists with the same cosmology.  All things exist on three realms--the spiritual, the cognitive, and the physical.  What's going on here is an interaction between the three realms.  I don't to bore you with my made up philosophy, but I do have a cohesive metaphysical reasoning for how my worlds and magic works.  And there is a single plane of existence--called Shadesmar, the Cognative Realm--which connects them all.

It's not at ALL boring, it's actually very very interesting.

I was wondering, has anyone asked what a Lerasium spike would do?

That would only be the case if you were using it on a Feruchemist. Use it on an Allomancer, and it steals all Allomantic powers. Conceivably, the only way to get both from one person would be to spike an Inquisitor, and Ruin wouldn't have them going around spiking each other for no reason.

Nope you get crossbreeds theoretically, and i do believe we will have feruchemical/ allomantic mistings (have 1 of each) in the forthcoming books

Ah, that's right, I had forgotten about the cross-system Mistings. We still need to come up with a good term for those. Mistbreed, maybe?
