Introducing Bryce Haymond

You might have read his insightful and thought-provoking posts at his new blog, Temple Study, or perhaps you will get to know his insightful and thought-provoking posts here at M*. Either way, we think you will enjoy reading Bryce’s posts at either blog!

Bryce grew up in Sandy, Utah, as a Beetdigger. He was the Utah State Sterling Scholar winner in Computer Technology. He served a mission in El Salvador San Salvador East mission from 2000-2002, including 8 months as mission financial secretary. Bryce graduated from Brigham Young University in 2007 with a BFA in Industrial Design and a minor in Ballroom Dance. As a member of the BYU Ballroom Dance Company, he toured 10 countries internationally over 4 years. A self-described Nibleyophile for about 10 years, loves the temple and is the founder of the new Temple Study blog, started in January of 2008. Bryce lives in Pleasant Grove, Utah, with his beautiful wife, daughter, and another child the way!

Shiny Servers and Speed

Due to an increase server load (lots of visitors — good problem to have) we are going to be moving to a new server this weekend. What does this mean for you, the loyal M* fan?

Gotta keep it running smooth. We apologize for the inconvenience!

UPDATE:
We’re up on the new box. Things are humming along now and everything checks out. If you encounter any issues, let us know. Thanks for your patience.
