Editorial Transitions

Hi everyone--we have a couple changes to announce in our editorial staff. First, we're very pleased to welcome Stan Thayne as a new co-editor for the blog. Stan's first post is below -- make sure you read it, because it's super-cool. Second, Brandi Denison is taking a leave of absence from editing for a while. (She will continue to contribute posts.) We are sorry to lose her, however temporarily, but we thank her for all her hard work (since this blog was born!!) and we wish her very well indeed.
