Teaching: I teach several classes at the U. of I. on all sorts of stuff. Many of my public talks are available here.

Me as academic: Here is my professional portfolio (as of 10/05/04, actually more of an archeological record!). Here is the obligatory curriculum vitae (outdated, of course, in pdf format).

Me as a human being: Here is my personal webpage, and my wife's.
