This page includes short summaries and links to
many of the articles (and other tidbits) I have written over the years. In assembling it, I was a bit
surprised by just how many different things there are to list. They are grouped
by type and include notes and links to the online versions, and this page only
goes through 2012. For articles from 2013 on, go to part 2 by clicking here. Now I should be able to find this stuff, as long as nobody trips over the cord and
unplugs the Internet.
