M in India

Hello again, blogosphere! It has been a while. Just wanted to let you know that I’ll be traveling to Hyderabad, India for a work-related trip from 1/13 – 1/26.

The Solver of the Rubik’s Cube Was….

I was quite taken with the experience. Here’s a sentimental recap. Really, it’s a combination of […]

Comment Competition Update

As we announced in an earlier post from the 4th of July, we have an interspecies competition (we have a few chicken contenders) running for who can make the most comments on our blog by July 4, 2011. It has been a long time coming, but I finally hacked together a blog-wide comment counter and […]
