In the interest of full disclosure, as I imagine this Web site encourages me to do, I’ve decided to reveal all funding and endorsements that might cloud my judgment when writing. Here’s an example: We all know I’m in the…

Dear world, I have now finished my graduate school applications. I suppose suicide would be inappropriate now, so I’ll just go on a murderous, celebratory rampage. Yee-ha!

My whole Blog 365 strategy of writing posts ahead of time has made me be consistently one day late on all the blogosphere happenings. No worries. I’ll just add it to my list. A meme gakked from The Collective: I…
