You will notice that we finally got around to sprucing up the sidebar with actual images of the contributors here. It’s one of those jobs that takes about 30 minutes but those 30 minutes never seem to be available. It’s a bit embarrassing that it took so long because it really does improve this site, adding a bit of flesh and blood to what otherwise just might appear to be an aggregate of digits. Sometimes it is too easy to forget that there are human beings being everything you read in the blogosphere, so this does serve as a useful reminder.
