"If you cannot be kind, at least have the decency to be vague"

I'm glad blogger finally got around to doing something about the comment spam. On the other hand, a small fraction of it will be missed.

I intend to revive this blog because I'm spending the semester in Santa Barbara, and would like to avoid spamming the population of Urbana with papers that I think are interesting.

On that note -- there actually are physicists called "D'Eath" and "Payne" who published a series of papers together.
