1000 views!

I would like to say thank you to all of my blog viewers! Today my blog reached 1000 views! I appreciate your support/attention/accidental clicks! Feel free to explore the links in and around my blog as well (there's some interesting additional material there too, especially in the blogs I follow.)

School starts again tomorrow, so I'm not sure how regularly I'll be able to keep updating. My plan is to squeeze in time to post some more cool stuff as I find it, but with crazy deadlines and working almost every morning, this very well may not happen. We'll see!

To those of you who are starting back tomorrow, or who recently returned to your classes: Good luck in the upcoming school year!
