Old Stuff Day!

CKutalik over at the Hill Cantons mentioned that it's Old Stuff Day. So despite this blog having been around for one a half months, I'm going to repost a bunch of my stuff that I think was overlooked. Especially from the first few weeks of the blog, when I was posting 3 times a day. I've since slowed down a bit in response to requests from people that I not overwhelm them and give them a chance to read things.

I have a popular posts widget thing on the side, so these will mainly be overlooked ones rather than the most popular ones.
