Welcome to BoredAfterBaker!

So glad you could join us. We, the Dartmouth Class of 2008, couldn't help but notice that the D keeps writing about '13s and other nonsense classes, while the GGMM doesn't even come to our "emails" anymore. So how are we supposed to know what our classmates have been up to? BoredAfterBaker is the answer.

Consider this your one-stop-shop for all the deets on your fellow '08s. It turns out our classmates have been doing some pretty cool things in the realm of saving/crushing the world since we graduated, and we'll be spotlighting them while keeping you up to date on mini-reunions, class projects, and other events.

So add us to your Google Reader and include us in your repertoire of ways to procrastinate at work. Have an idea for a story? Let us know at dartmouth08s@gmail.com. Talk to you soon!
