a new website, a different blog ..

Hello all,

Our website will be going live tonight! It will contain information on most of the workshops we'll be holding this wintersession. A lot of the details are still to be determined, so we'll have to ask you to be patient with us for now. Please let us know of any problems you come across so we can fix them!

We also just obtained a tumblr to use, potentially in place of this blogspot one. Any preferences? Shoot us an email and let us know.
