Note to Labrigger readers: I don’t serve ads on here. I pay for the site myself (personal funds, not lab funds), and I have since it was started. It’s maybe a small thing, but I appreciate having something that doesn’t have ads on it. There’s no SEO either. I just post thoughts and notes that are worth sharing.
