Successfully Defended!

This morning I had my PhD dissertation defense. I got to compress everything I've accomplished in the past five years into an hour long presentation, then get quizzed on it by the professors on my advisory committee -- they passed me, signed the papers that needed to be signed, and the last hurdle of graduate school has been cleared! (happy dance!) So leave a comment and call me Doctor! (But please don't make a habit of it. That would be kinda weird.)
That news may explain why I've not been posting here very regularly lately -- crunch time, getting everything wrapped up. But now, I'm FREE so expect more regular posts to resume soon.
