Inspired by the example of Jason Rennie, I have decided to place some short research notes on the Web. Generally, these are 2- or 3-page simple notes that answer a question either about my work or someone else's. Others of these describe implementation tricks that aren't relevant to a research paper, but may be useful for efficiently reproducing my or others' results.
