01.15.17 Recap

Annnd we're back, mostly. Continuing to log in my digital notebook with an increasingly not so annotated and (sometimes poorly kept) list of what I've been reading and researching lately. Again, archiving for personal use, but hope readers continue to find some utility/interest in the reads. Happy New Year!
