Back of the Envelope

For once, I'm doing my month in review at the beginning of the next month, rather than closer to the end. I used to do these as Weeks in Review, but since moving to the new blog, the archives work differently, so it makes more sense to put it at the beginning of the month. Here are my most significant posts this month.

Storyblogging Carnivals (links to the category page) -- Michele Catalano hosted the ninth Storyblogging Carnival, but I claimed number ten for myself, while Sheya Joie hosted number eleven.

Well, I'm here -- I arrive in Boston and start moving into my apartment.

Armstrong Williams -- As usual, it takes me a little while to actually comment on news, but here I take the opportunity to spell out my own full disclosure policy. I start to question my conclusions about Mr. Williams later, though.

Doc Rampage: The most metaheroic blog in the world? -- Doc gives me a chance to put my full-diclosure policy in action by paying me for my commentary.

The Old Testament Law -- I share some of MIT Intervarsity Staffer Kevin Ford's thoughts on the continued relevance of Old Testament law.

Christian family murdered in New Jersey -- Islamist violence isn't something that only happens in Iraq.

Military nanotechnology -- I have some thoughts on an IEEE article proposing International controls on military nanotechnology.

So, you want a quantum key distribution system? -- Quantum encryption may be closer than you think.

RSA Encryption -- I talk a bit about RSA encryption and what makes Shor's algorithm so powerful.

Dr. Dobson and Mr. Squarepants -- I try to figure out what all the fuss is about.
