Here is my much-anticipated MASTER PLAN:

Using my incredible mathematical genius, I have figured
out how to fit an entire nine months of work into only
six months.  I knew there was a reason I got a degree
in mathematics.  (Or at least, I could, if I'd just pay
Purdue that pesky $40 I owe them.)

And while you're clicking on whatever links I happen
to post (you trust me too much, really), check out my
incredible art skills:

Cute lil guy, isn't he?  That's the new mascot and logo
for Project Mallard.  I named him Drake.  Hey, you two,
what are you snickering about in the corner?  Do you
have something to share with the whole class?  What?

It's a perfectly nice drawing.  Don't pick on Drake.

Well, I never.  If you think you can do better, then
let's see it.

Kids these days, I swear.
