		<title>Sharing the gaming spotlight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The idea behind RPGs is pretty cool. We get together with friends and collaboratively create a story. Our favourite fiction is a great source of inspiration in this: we can create our own epics inspired by, in the style of, or even explicitly in the setting of our favourite authors, directors and artists. But by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Steiner faces the third degree...</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;Is the most amusing Google translation I saw of &#8220;Steiner, Fl&#228;chen dritten Graden&#8221;. This is of course the short form of &#8220;Steiner, J. &#8211; &#220;ber die Fl&#228;chen dritten Grades&#8221;, the article I have been translating from fucking German for a presentation I&#8217;m doing this week. Anyway, most of the work is done, and my German [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Blasphemy Laws Kill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There were three incidents in Pakistan recently that I thought at first were the same story, they were so similar. Thursday, August 6th. A shopkeeper in Pakistan&#8217;s southern Sindh province claims that a 60-year-old muslim woman &#8220;disrespectfully flung about pages of the Koran at his shop&#8221;, according to the BBC. The woman claims &#8220;it wasn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Godless gets some press</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As noted by, among others, past Godless Radio guest Larry Moran, the U of T eBulletin has done a writeup on Godless. Hurrah!]]></description>

		<title>Elliptic elements in congruence subgroups</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More math-blogging! Yay! Today I have a proof I wrote recently, of a relatively fundamental fact: principal congruence subgroups of the modular group contain no elliptic elements. The proof is available as a PDF or below the fold. Theorem. The congruence subgroup contains elliptic elements if and only if , the modular group. Proof. In [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diffeomorphisms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In an effort to blog a bit more, and to spur myself to work harder, I&#8217;m going to try to blog more about the work I&#8217;m doing this summer. Briefly, I&#8217;m exploring properties of subsets of the modular group, defined as the set of 2&#215;2 matrices with determinant 1. I work with an eye toward [...]]]></description>

		<title>Science Scouts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ignoring for the time being the question of whether Mathematics is a science or a meta-science or the science of science or whatever, I&#8217;ll simply don the title of &#8220;scientist&#8221; and therefore claim eligibility in Science Scouts. Here are my badges &#8212; so far:]]></description>

		<title>Why Number Theory is Cool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve started doing an intro to number theory, and one of the cool things about it is that it examines some simple questions with complicated answers. Here&#8217;s a quick example: Show that is even, for any given integer n. And here&#8217;s the proof: we can easily see that . Since either or must be even, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Letter to the editor of The Underground</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the latest issue of The Underground, UTSC&#8217;s campus paper, Erica Rodrigues writes &#8220;When freedom of speech goes too far&#8221;, a spittle-flecked protest of Peezy Myers&#8216; now-infamous host wafer desecration, or &#8220;Crackergate&#8220;. The article isn&#8217;t on the Underground website, so I&#8217;ve scanned it, and you can find it linked here. Below the fold is my [...]]]></description>

		<title>My dirty mind</title>
