Dissertation Blogging Updates

I've considerably updated the Introduction and Chapter 2 to my dissertation blogging series due to comments from my advisor. It is much improved from before. So feel free to check it out and let me know what you think!

We are also moving this weekend so blogging will be slow. With two kids now, we are cramped in our little ole 2 bedroom duplex that we have called home since we moved to Penn State. Its a great place, but not for a family of 4. We are going to be renting a beautiful home on Mount Nittany, with State Forest for my backyard, a 5 mile scenic commute and plenty of space (in and outside) for our little planulae to run around! Its a beautiful place and worth every penny more than we are currently paying in rent. All hardwood floors, a wood-burning stove, enormous kitchen with oodles of counter space and smart cabinet arrangements, a fire pit in the backyard, a BBQ area with a stove for heat, plus the former owner left us lots of furniture to use. Its almost like heaven, except that we spent all night tonight cleaning it up... Expect pictures once we're settled in.
