WARNING: This is the result of saying "Save as HTML" in powerpoint. I (the author) do not claim this is an ideal way of making this lecture web-viewable, but at least it costs me the least time :).

I might convert this to a somewhat more usable format later, or I might not...

Also, these slides are only the pictures that go with the story. You probably want to hear the story as well, but unfortunately that isn't online right now.
