Favata's "Best" of the arXiv

"Best" of the arXiv has MOVED!

2009-10-21T22:01:00.000-07:00

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.
