Ramblings

Robert's Ramblings is a series of essays that I wrote on topics of interest. These were also published in an occasional newsletter by the same name. The newsletter was published, as Scott Adams says about his Dilbert Newsletter, "roughly, whenever I feel like it". The files are primarily in pdf format, but where possible, a smaller html file is available by clicking on "html version'. By and large most of what I would have written as Robert's Ramblings is now found in my blog.
