The number seven has been coming up a lot the last few days.

First, I’ve had this blog for seven years. I started it in 2006. I had one before this, but it was hacked and most of the 140 posts were deleted.

Second, I recently crossed the 700 posts threshold. This is post number 704.

Third, we just filled our fall semester and yearlong immersion program seven months in advance.

Fourth, I’ve spent seven hours over the past few days updating the look and feel of this blog, changing the theme, etc. If you read this via a feed reader or by email, check out the site. It looks significantly different. My goal is to bring all of the media we create (blog posts, videos, podcasts, photos, books, etc.) together in one place.  If you do check it out, let me know what you think.
