revivification

It is time to revive this blog after its long hibernation!  I'm aided in this goal by my friend Nelson Elhage's Iron Blogger challenge, wherein a bunch of us (mostly MIT students and alums) get together and agree to publish one post a week or we chip in $5 towards beer money for a monthly bar trip.  Yes, this is my freebie first blog post about the posting project.  Yes, it's very meta.  Have a cookie.

Up next week:  the new MITSFS online catalog I've been building.
