    Addendum to the Update on the Correction to the Correction

    I neglected to actually add the corrected correction to the original post, as described in our previous update. Unfortunately, given that we have corrections to our subsequent corrections, and those corrections were not updated in the original post, nor in the updates, it would now be inappropriate to add alter any of these posts, corrections,…

    Update on the Correction to the Correction

    Ok, so it’s clear to me now I should have probably just appended the corrections to the original post. Spreading it out over subsequent posts simply added to the confusion. The editorial department regrets this error and will strive to improve your reading experience in the future.

    Further Corrections

    In yesterday’s correction, I neglected to include a link to the article being corrected. This is poor form, as it’s important to make sure that the context of the correction is clear. The editorial department regrets this additional error.

    It’s more about getting the habit going at this point. Here’s a random picture.

  • Photo Phone In

    ,

    Today was very busy, by which I mean today was a normal workday after a break and I’m building my work week stamina back up. I am therefore proud to announce the creation of Photo Phone In, where I post a photo instead of really writing anything substantial. For our inaugural PPI, I give you…

    Back At It

    I’m back at my desk after a lovely holiday break. On one hand, this is great because I’m happy to be back and ready to take the new year head on. On the other, I’ve forgotten nearly everything I once knew about what was going on, so a lot of that clear-headed optimism will be…
