April 25, 2008 General

Courtesy of Damien Wild, I stumbled across Anton Colella’s blog. For those that don’t know, Anton is president of ICAS.

Video comments

April 24, 2008 General

In keeping with my insatiable appetite for new toys, I’ve added two new features to this site, both of which relate to commenting. First I’ve added threading so that if you want to reply to a particular comment then it should become part of that conversation as opposed to a general comment river. Second I’ve [...]

If we're going to be serious
