+RICG.io
+=======
+
+So,  this repo is a mess. I was working on this last week and managed to nuke a bunch of work while dealing with some `gh-pages` weirdness, so the actual site at http://ricg.io was torn out of my browser cache.
+
+I’m working on getting this repo back into shape now, but for the time being: best not to touch anything.
