In the modeling/​hobby realm Kit­Bash­ing “is a prac­tice whereby a new scale model is cre­ated by tak­ing pieces out of com­mer­cial kits.” I would imag­ine that in the dig­i­tal human­i­ties, the process of Kit­Bash­ing is equiv­a­lent to hack­ing, remix­ing, and the Mashup. I am work­ing on a hand-​rolled cus­tom theme, but that is sev­eral long weeks away as I do have grad work to com­plete. As such, I am tem­porar­ily Kit­Bash­ing this site using hand-​rolled CSS/​CSS3on top of the WP-​Framework theme I am cur­rently run­ning. Ulti­mately, this means that there are/​will be things bro­ken and non-​functional for awhile in Fire­fox, Opera (upgrade to Opera 10.51 for increased CSS3 sup­port), Chrome, Safari, and par­tic­u­larly IE (read: IE[vi]L).

Thank you in advance for your patience as I Kit­Bash my way toward a new site, and please accept my hum­ble apolo­gies if you have prob­lems or are unable to view par­tic­u­lar pages/​items on the web­site. If you have ques­tions or com­ments, please con­tact me: richard { at } goa­trock­re­search { dot } org.
