Year Two Of "We Convince By Our Presence" Quickly Approaching

Good Evening Everyone,

We're only a few weeks away from the launch of year two of We Convince By Our Presence. I'm pumped and you should be too! Unfortunately, a minor roadblock has been put in my path: my laptop stopped working completely earlier this week. I'm planning on getting it fixed ASAP, but I mention this small catastrophe because my essays for round two of the blog are saved on my laptop. Like a fool I didn't back any of my files up recently. I'll keep y'all posted on the status of my computer, and subsequently my blog, once I have some news on my laptop.

All the best,
Matthew
