Interesting Math Blog

Here's a fantastic blog for you math-lovers out there. You'll see how I found it when you look at the first entry. And yes, you'll see one of the reasons I like it. But that's just a small part of the reason I like this blog.
Aside from the amusing April Fool's gag, my enthusiasm for this blog stems from its presentation of mathematics as a living, breathing pursuit. It presents the evolving study of mathematics, both the history as well as what's going on right now. And it does so in an entirely accessible way, interspersing discussions of modern mathematics with other topics of interest, such as popularization efforts (read: good books), cool puzzles, mathematical tidbits, and excellent websites
. On top of all this, jkauzlar sees how our work fits into the world of mathematics that's unfolding around us. It's a safe bet that many of the people who will contribute to that expanding horizon of knowledge are members of AoPS right now.
Part of the mission of the site is to "bridge the gap from the knowledgeable to the merely-interested". Check it out to see how they succeed - you'll have a hard time finding something that's as concisely well-written about the math world as this.
