The Cornell Historical Math Monographs archive has a great many famous papers, including works by De Morgan, Hamilton, Descartes (warning: French) and of course Lewis Carroll.

Found while searching for this interesting paper.

If you enjoy that paper, you may also enjoy this (which would have been a great addition to your post had it existed in 2005).

Kempe's monograph is actually quite interesting, and led me to make this model of a Peaucellier cell.

man that is an annoying interface. On documents who's height is more then the size of the window (even if the extra space is just margins), you have a choice of scrolling up each time you want to move or using an unwieldy pull down menu. It would be a lot nice if they just added next/back buttons to the nav bar on the top.

You know, Lego Technic beams and pins are probably a lot simpler way to make model linkages. Self-link (also, I knew a lot less about linkages back then...)

The shirt? Matt Haughey once created an arcane six bar linkage between my computer, Comcast, a Metatalk sidebar ad, Paypal, UPS, and my mailbox.
