Publications
(Under construction.)
This is the gargantuan list of all of my publications. Those that I consider especially important are indicated by an asterisk.
Because sharing knowledge is important, I have tried to make as many of my publications accessible as possible. The download links associated with each publication follow the legend below. All downloads are in PDF form, and can be easily read using the Preview application on the Mac, or Acrobat Reader for the unenlightened.

I am not the primary author of all of the publications linked here, but I believe I hold rights to include them all here. If I am wrong about one of them, then let me know and I will promptly remove the offending document.
