Saying Goodbye to Old Friends: Block-C and BSD Mike Sign Off
[Meta - Because it's the off-season and old buddies are dropping like flies.] It's never fun when you have to say good-bye to old friends. But that's just something that happens to bloggers as we get older. The time we once had in abundance to write, read, laugh and type disappears. In its place...
Tone, Text, and Style
[Meta? Meta. It's officially the off-season and while there are things to write about I thought I'd take a little time to reaffirm who we are at Maize n Brew and why we do what we do. This is meta, and at some points super-meta, so I bounce from "I" to "we" from time to time. Sometimes the...

Congrats, class of 2009!
