Getting close to the end of the day. Probably won't be on HB next week since I'll be out of town. Someone PM me if anything crazy happens.

who wrote that? foucault?

edit: they did reference bentham's panopticon specifically and foucault. that is pretty heady and funny. but i thought i was going to sound really smart and clever by mentioning foucault.
