Farewell, bright obvious

I recently ported my academic website to github.io and upgraded it to run on Jekyll and the Academic Pages template. That means I can now host my blog here, so I’ll no longer be (erratically and irregularly) adding to my Wordpress blog, The Bright Obvious.

The title of my new blog is $\frac{\text{mind}}{\text{matter}}$, a nod to notational puns and my desire to continue writing about academic and physical activities – the Life of the Embodied Mind. Below, I’ve created an index of my old Bright Obvious posts, reverse chronologically organized according to this duality.

mind
