All the stuff Hoza wrote, long ago...
So long and thanks for all the sushi!
Thus begins the archive-ification of MassMOG.com. There were some messy bits due to neglect (pish off, spammers!) so I decided to take an easy way out and just make a big list of all the things I wrote since this iteration of the site started.
Below you'll see a giant list of articles. Pages of 'em (yeah there's a pager down there, so click through that if you want). I'm not going to try harder to organize this because I honestly should be doing other things right now. I'm just on a roll and want this done.
Thank you so much for visiting over all these years! I'm not sure what I'll do next, but this is my way of getting the site archived a bit.
Have a great, um.. life?
