I am a classifier by nature. For instance, whenever I eat a bag of M&Ms or Skittles (or Smarties, for my Canadian friends), I generally dump the bag out, sort the candy by color, and then start eating first by most numerous and then when they’re all an even number, one at a time from… Continue reading this is the moment yall, where we dismantle the genre machine

Legal Technology and Innovation Competency
I had some projects that I wanted to work on this summer after I turned in some writing commitments and I’m happy/proud/shocked to announce that I completed one. Well, completed v1.0 of one.
