Good gosh! Is it almost the middle of November already? Where did the time go?!
I don't know how many of the other job seakers out there are starting to feel a small nagging panic as they work on polishing up (or writing out) their CVs, research statements, teaching statements, etc. but I know that I am.
Hopefully soon I'll have these finished off so that I can start writing out cover letters and submitting applications before the deadlines fly by.
If there is interest and request, I'm happy to consider posting some of my application materials here "for the public eye".

Since I'm in my third year of my three year postdoc I am in the process of conducting yet another job search (YAJS). But this time I have the benifit of having gone through this same process three years ago (and I also don't have to worry about finishing my PhD at the same time as doing the search ;).
As things progress, I am going to attempt to post regular "updates" to my personal diary page here at YMN. Disclaimer: the views and opinions expressed here (in my personal diary pages) do not necessarly represent the views of the YMN.

In Littlewood's A Mathematician's Miscellany, he talks about the old Cambridge Mathematics Tripos examination - the final exam for undergraduates studying mathematics at Cambridge University.
The idea was to create a strict order of merit for the students. This developed into an examination that, thankfully, has no peer in today's world.

I've been contemplating gathering and placing useful "math on the web" type links somewhere on the scoop site. Of course we could do this in an article, but I think it might be good to organize a handfull into a small "toolbar" box on the left hand side similar to the YMN box, maybe have a few catagories such as
- orginations
- AMS - maybe also with links to employment stuff?
- MAA - maybe also link directly to things like MathTrecks?
- SIAM
- AWM
- others?
- newsgrous (maybe via google's front end?)
- alt.math.moderated
- alt.math.recreational
- alt.math.undergrad
- sci.math
- sci.math.research
- others?
- other resourse sites
- Drexel's Math Forum
- Marvy Mudd's Math Fun Facts
- math puzzle sites (e.g. I believe Macalester College has something)
- MathDL
- PlanetMath
- MSRI publications/lectuers
- http://mathpuzzle.com/
- http://www.mathnews.uwaterloo.ca/
- mathworld
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics
- others?
