I was supposed to be spring cleaning. (Or, more accurately, late summer cleaning.) Whatever. I was trying to reduce the entropy in my living room, irrespective of season. To tackle such a big job — and violating the second law of thermodynamics is a big job, take my word for it — I decided to break it down into lots of smaller tasks. It's easier to bring order out of chaos one square metre of floor space at a time.

But the first square metre included a box of reprints, so I didn't get very far. To justify my lack of progress, I'm going to summarise the articles. This, of course, will assist in my fight against the heat death of the universe. Or my living room. One or the other.

Be prepared for a series of posts on random topics.
