Signing off for winter

I likely won’t teach this class for two more years, so the blog will be mostly idle until then, but please keep me posted at dolezalj@central.edu if you find dead links or resources that should be added. I’ll likely rework the Authors page to make it more inviting and will update the General Resources page before teaching the course again in Fall 2012.
