Old Stuff

This collects material from older versions of my websites (mostly early versions of lemur.com) which hasn't yet been integrated into CircuitousRoot. If you're looking for my old essays on Bernard Gitton and the Earl of Meath's water clocks, the Rolling Ball Web, or preliminary studies of Dr. Allen V.
