Hunter will be holding his office hours online using Google hangout. To get yourself on the online office-hour queue, email Hunter at some point during the week about participating in online office hours, and he will add you the queue. The queue can be viewed in this Google Doc.

At 6pm on Monday and Wednesday, Hunter will initiate a Google Hangout with the first person in the queue. The available time will be divided evenly among the people who have signed up.
