Welcome to Rob Knight's personal web site
This site contains my various outpourings across a variety of media sources, as well as other people's stuff that I've liked. It also hosts a (very) occasional blog and assorted pages detailing presentations I've given, a brief bio, some social networking stuff and a contact form.
