  1. Hey, can we push the start of this back one week? I had a final get pushed back to this past Monday, and now I'm trying to work a bunch of hours this week since it's the last week of the project. I'll aim to have a post up Sunday night.

  2. Okay, since we've been a little discombobulated with the start of this, let's push the current discussion out a little further and have Jarrod's post for week two to next Sunday night. Let's aim to have posts up by Sunday night, or Monday by noon at the latest. How does that sound? Then the remaining schedule would look like this:
