Duck, Duck, Duck.... Cheesecake?
I spent most of Thanksgiving break developing my web site, which still needs a lot of work. I've taken to approaching it iteratively. The letters of recommendation have been requested. Its at www.lucidanomaly.net.

Inbound from Ohio
I'm currently on my way back from Wisconsin, and haven't posted an update in so long a time, that I figured I'd do it.

I'm not sure what room, but it'll be between 1:45pm and 2:45pm for 20 ( Read more... )
