Continuing the FO parade…
In April, I finished two large projects. One: my dissertation (all 252 pages of it).

Quick post — At home and in life, I use Firefox as my internet browser of choice. But today, I’m visiting a friend and got to view my blog using internet explorer for the first time. I noticed that my sidebar is stacked at the bottom, at the end of all the posts, and in […]
