While you're waiting for the sessions to start, take a peek around my blog.
Instead of a handout, I'll be using this post for supplemental material. I suppose since you're in a blog workshop, you're interested in utilizing the web. A couple of benefits to this method - you don't have to keep up with the paper and you can link through to the other sources. So, here we go.
