AIMS Write Up

This is a blog post representing my experience teaching at AIMS for the past couple of weeks.  Since the course was entirely based on SWC material and I heard about this via SWC in the first place, I thought that SWC would be the right place to put the write up.  I realize it is probably longer than your typical blog post.  This is only because of my deep love for the experience.  

Unfortunately, I was not able to build the site on my own machine due to what appears to be a bug in ``make_rss_feed.py``.  Hopefully this doesn't affect anyone but me.  Here is the error message I receive:
