Dear Viz. Readers,

Four years ago John Jones, Tim Turner, and Vessela Valiavistcharska and I founded Viz.  We couldn't be happier for the recent  Lovas weblog award that Kairos bestowed upon Viz.  I will remain sporadically active with Viz., but I am also happy to unveil 3 x 3 in Cullowhee, my new blog about tranitioning from the life of a grad student to the life of an assistant professor.  Please check it out and add it to your RSS readers.  I am still working on the static content, so keep checking back.
