TeX comes to WordPress!
I just noticed that WordPress has added Tex support. This will make my life a lot simpler, and it may even work in the comments. Now to go back and change all the G to

February comes to a close this week. In the United States, February is Black History Month. It’s sort of depressing that such a huge influence on the nation is still seen as far enough out of the mainstream that it has to have a special spotlight, but so it goes. Maybe someday the African-American culture will be sufficiently woven into the fabric that such events are no longer necessary.

About this weblog
This is mainly an expository blath, with occasional high-level excursions, humorous observations, rants, and musings. The main-line exposition should be accessible to the “Generally Interested Lay Audience”, as long as you trace the links back towards the basics. Check the sidebar for specific topics (under “Categories”).
I’m in the process of tweaking some aspects of the site to make it easier to refer back to older topics, so try to make the best of it for now.
