"Best" of the arXiv has MOVED!

This blog has moved to a new site. I've found it more convenient to use Zotero to organize these articles. Zotero is a Firefox extension that let's you easily organize and manage articles on your computer. Feel free to sign up as a group member on the new Favata's "Best" of the arXiv.
