Nah. It really shows how thin the understanding is of an open course, […]

Wandering to the Giant Theremin
It’s my first day here in Melbourne, a glorious sunny one, and my energy is good given a good long sleep on the 14.5 hours jaunt from San Francisco to Sydney. And why is it no surprise that all they way from Prince Georges British Columbia should Grant Potter find an interesting thing for me […]
