Here’s another weekly status update. This week seemed to go by really quickly, and I didn’t get as much done as I was originally aiming for. Still, progress is progress.

In addition to a regular status update, I’m going to try to list some general thoughts and reflections from the week. See the end of the post, under “Reflections” (cleverly named, eh?).
