This online journal lets you know what we work on in IML each week. We record what new ideas we have,
what works and what doesn't, what we figure out, and how we plan our projects. These are our notes,
so we mainly focus on expressing our ideas. We've proofread everything, but there still might be some
mistakes that we missed!
