Post 9: Wherein There Is Exciting News

Samuel here.

So, it is possible that you've noticed that there was no scheduled update yesterday. Sorry for not giving you notice on that, but we would like to gloss over this fact with some exciting news:

Simon and I were finding the two updates a week thing a bit prohibitive in terms of time commitment, especially since we are now entering the midterm season and the real crunch time in terms of assignments. Believe it or not, it does take a reasonable amount of time to put these posts together, and we felt that in the long run it simply would not be sustainable. So we offered Mr. Ian Martin an exciting package ("write for us and Philippe will argue with you!"), and we are pleased to announce that he will be taking over the Sunday evening time slot. He is a good writer and a humorous individual, and he gets as angry about things on Facebook as the next guy, so he makes a welcome addition to the team.

This need not mean the end of collaborative blog posts, though; if people want us to, I imagine we can work something out so that the three of us can collaborate on posts in the future. But you would have to express an interest in that, because we sure aren't running this blog for our own amusement. Well, okay, we are running this blog for our own amusement. But you're important to us, too!

Also, in general, thanks for reading. We are getting substantially more page views (and comments) than I think either of us expected we would be getting 2 weeks in, and that's awesome. So, thanks!
