Restart and reorient 2017

After an extremely long break starting / hoping again to use 4DIAC.

This blog is still a good place for documenting not just any progress or experiments, but also details took to do whatever so repeatable. An idea may first appear in an fairly unstructured first exploration post. 


11/26 reoriented and moving on First Goals:
