I believe that it isn't written in english. <blockquote cite="Our work makes use of an interesting non-linear higher dimensional generalization of the instanton equations."> Dude, thats nasty! Very nice, but your personal Caltech page has a huge problem.

I believe that it isn’t written in english.

But most people who are searching for me will use far more obvious terms like ... well ... <a href="http://www.google.com/search?num=20&hs=FCr&hl=en&lr=&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=physics+africa+cloister+photo&btnG=Search" rel="nofollow">physics africa cloister photo</a>, will get straight to my blog and NOT my Caltech page. Anyway, thanks for dropping by! I hope the studying is going well inbetween dreaming up bizarre search terms!

And perhaps even more papers! So I suppose the real question is whether it's worth having internal links on a page that has a fair amount of content. It's a matter of taste, I suppose, and normally I'd say no -- but the heading was looking oh so empty without them... As regards linking to my blog, I'd rather not have to worry even more about what I write on my blog. It's certainly not an anonymous blog, but there's at least one layer of separation.

I mean, what's the point of having links that don't go anywhere? After all, the whole page can probably fit in a 1024x768 screen. Are there really that many people still using 800x600 out there? Also, I'm surprised that you don't link to your own blog in your own personal webpage. Paul, I think the links at the top of your personal webpage are a bit overkill.
