What's New on Sir Robin's Web Page?

Since we first put this site on the web in March of 1997, Jenn and I have been adding to it in fitful, inconstant bursts of energy. Our aim has not been to provide a few boring and inconsequential facts about ourselves, followed by a list of our favorite links, but to create a site patterned around our interests that is fun to explore (our success in this being determined by the interests of our visitors, and the limitations of our talents).

Still, it occurred to us that those who've already seen our website might like to know what has been added since their last visit, without having to browse all of the departments again, so we've added this page as a handy reference.

We've listed the contents of our page in reverse chronological order - ie, the most recent additions are at the top of the page. Links are provided directly to the items.
