vixra watch

Many times on this blog I have cited papers from vixra, the alternative to arxiv. Today I just want to note two surprising new additions to the vixra user base, Simon Plouffe and Jacob Barnett. They both have biographies at Wikipedia: Plouffe is, I guess, a computational number theorist, and Barnett is a teenage theoretical physicist who has been in the media since he was 12 (he's 16 now).
