If you're in any way a part of the computer science community, there's no doubt in my mind that you've heard of or even support and use free software. If you already know what I'm talking talking about, feel free to skip ahead. For those of you who don't, I'm not talking about the price of the software you're using, though no price does tend to occur, but rather but your ability to use your programs any way you like without restriction.

Hey all! It's been a hot minute, so I thought I'd send out a post to talk about a few updates to the site and some others.

Ah, astronomy. The so-called "crown jewel" of the sciences. The field that dares to look up at the infinite void of space and say, "Yeah, we totally know what's going on up there." Except, spoiler alert: we don't.

I'll just get straight to the point: I don't like web frameworks. In my experience, all they have done is overcomplicate, overcrowd, and generally bloat up projects, usually leading me to find an easier solution using plain-old HTML, CSS, & JavaScript.
