New (11/11): Why my wife calls me Le Grand Fromage
If anyone cares, here are impressions from my year at Microsoft Research and there are some recent argumentative essays.
Here is an interview of me by a non-mathematician. Reporting conversation in print shows that I have an embarrassingly inarticulate stream-of-consciousness speaking style -- do not take these to be my considered opinions!
In Spring 2012 I am not doing classroom teaching, being attached to the MSRI program Random Spatial Processes. But I will also be on campus regularly.

NEW (1/12): Draft write-up of 13 lectures.
The non-mathematical parts of the project are being developed as a web site, intended as a more idiosyncratic counterpart to two existing sites with somewhat related themes: Understanding Uncertainty and Chance News. The current "beta version" set of pages are sufficiently incomplete and fragmented that I don't want them quoted or linked to; but if you really want to enter the maze at your own risk, start with this cover page to the beta version.
