New Blath!
Well, as today’s main post sort of died, I really should post some good news. Jeff Morton has started a weblog! It’s a great coincidence, because just yesterday I was mentioning his use of spans in categorifying the quantum harmonic oscillator during my talk. I see good things coming from this.

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.
Hi, John. Thanks for noticing. I expect to have something worthwhile to post shortly, as I’m getting my thesis ready to put on the arXiv. When I do, I’ll probably write a few posts talking about what’s in it - including more stuff involving spans of groupoids and TQFT’s.
Which reminds me - I like how well your posts integrate math notation: can you point me at an explanation of how to make that work on wordpress?
There’s an explanation of it here. It’s basically just LaTeX, but with a different wrapper.
