  1. I have finally finished these episodes and enjoyed them tremendously. History really came alive for me. Oh and I like the new design/layout of your site too. :)

  2. It took me awhile to finish this series as well… and I am glad I did.

    Thank you about the new design. It’s embarrassing actually, because it is under major construction but I figure I’d just kick it in and make changes as I go along. Basically, it will probably always be under construction!…

  3. I love what you said on the Time page, “Time is constantly under construction”. How appropriate, and very clever! :)
