My latest web-based activity away from this blog is up now at Geekplanet. It's part of their "Why I Love..." series, and rather unsurprisingly, I plumped for maths.
It's a bit shakily edited (partially because I ended up writing the whole thing in the simplest email form possible, and not all of my notation has been changed into actual font), but I rather like this one.

Nah, physics is the literature of the universe. Maths is just a collection of truisms. :p
I thought maths was great up until the point where it became clear that there's no analytical solution to anything but the simplest problems. Now I think arithmetic is great.
Physics is the literature of the universe in roughly the same way that Mills and Boon is the language of love.
The Golem is not a dull book. It's quite beautiful. It just needs a little more coherence in construction - which is actually a reflection of the Jewish quarter it describes.
Dull? Pah. Read it until you like it!
