The reason for this page is twofold. The first is that I wanted a better method to show the past blog posts of The Null Set then the current small drop-down box that just states the month, year, and number of entries. The second was that I wanted newer readers of The Null Set the chance to see a hand-picked listing of my favorite entries from the past that they might have missed.
