So here’s the requisite self-indulgent page where I list my favorite links, blogs, etc., in the deluded idea that someone who reads this page (probably my students) will be interested.  Who knows, I may even put some pictures up eventually.  The links below are divided in Mathematics, Science, Philosophy, and Fun Stuff. 

There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.
