+## Git
+
+The git exercises were pretty fun. I already knew most of the basics, partly
+because I am TAing for a CS class right now and have gotten lots of experience
+helping students fix their git mistakes, and partly because I've already made a
+lot of those mistakes myself. However, I still learned a lot, particularly about
+merging, which I never really understood completely. I also learned more about
+rebasing and fast forwarding, and was able to make some informed decisions about
+my config settings, which was pretty exciting.
+
+## Browser Extension
+<!--more-->
+The Browser Extension group project has been a little more challenging than the
+git exercises. We all brought very different ideas to the table, so figuring out
+one to focus one has been a process of compromise. Additionally, our schedules
+did not really permit any in person or even very much synchronous collaboration,
+so we have had to figure out other ways to work together. I figure this is very
+similar to real open source projects where people live all over the world and
+have all sorts of different responsibilities. The good ting is our group has
+gotten along very well from the start and we seem to share a common goal of
+completing this assignment, so we have been able to overcome these challenges.
