Here is a brief history of the universality theorem for moduli spaces of line arrangements

Here are some pictures related to my last lovely toy -- the tangent bundle of a combinatorial manifold. It has a canonical combinatorial manifold structure! For me it was a great surprise. Imagine: a convex polytope has a canonical cellular structrure on its tangent bundle! Just simplex has! Triangle! Where is applause?

Research interests: to draw some pictures,
like this (warning: Cinderella 1,4M Java applet inside!):
