'Essays' is a polite euphemism for 'a random collection of stray thoughts.' Here you'll find everything from travelogues to old newspaper articles. The foundation of this collection is the articles, papers and thoughts I've picked up over the years. Hopefully others will have more to add.

The pieces are roughly categorized above; the categories may change as I toss more things in. Each essay consists of a title, the author's name, the essay text, and any notes the author includes. Any editorial comments are enclosed in square brackets [like this] at the bottom of the essay. Links to previous and next essays are at the top of each page, allowing one to chain through all essays if desired.

Any thoughts on strategies to better organize this space would be welcome.
