Site Launch - The Peter D. Watson Center
Part of my work for the UR PSC Department entails working on and maintaining various other sites, including a site for the Peter D. Watson Center for Conflict and Cooperation.

I’d like to have somewhere to collect my thoughts, mus (I almost said “musings” there. I’ve got to try to encourage myself to not be so cliché), programming notes, etc. so I’m going to make the quintessential blogger’s promise of content.
