An experiment. This blog is being setup to hopefully have yet another opportunity for communication between myself and my two fellow thesis critics- Andrew Hart and Lisa Armstrong- and with our shared group of 6 thesis students Jesse Heacock, Tim Ranck, Nate Scrivo, Paul Schaeffer, Kristin Slagal and Adam Wummer. We will see where this goes. Hopefully it will be very useful and convenient to all. jjp
