Acronym Note

A quick note:

As many of you know, MIT has a not-so-secret love affair with acronyms, abbreviations, and numbers. As much fun as the code is, I understand that many of you may not speak MITese. To remedy this, those of you reading my blog on ebroder.net will notice that certain words and phrases have a dashed underline. Holding your mouse over these phrases should display a small tool tip that expands the abbreviation or translates the number.

For those of you who read this elsewhere, fear not. The tool tips are probably still there; they just don’t have the dashed underline marking them. So if there’s something you don’t understand, try mousing over it, and the meaning just might make itself clear.
