Control is the printed newsletter that we began in 1997.
Most of this material is in the blog
now, but not all of it... And, whenever possible we'll bust out the rubylith and
t-square ( ok... Quark) and produce an honest to gosh physical newsletter. There's
just something nice about physical reality. Until then... here some links to past articles
we hope you enjoy.
