Well, I got sick of MySpace because it is limited to what you can do. I would like to post my ideas out in an organized manner and in any manner i see fit. MySpace or Facebook derivatives became this cookie-cutter build your own website that has resulted in other "clone" websites that have adopted similar interfaces - boring! Lets face it, the novel idea got old. Add strangers, make comments, change colors, customize trivial things for your aesthetics. But mostly their blog lacked flexibility (as of 4/2008). And seriously, who are the majority of "friends" in a person's "space," in reality are you corresponding with them or are they more like a collection? Not "friends" but strangers: internet acquaintances at best.

"What we sculpt this 'reality' to be is probing and tentative, partial and incomplete, useful for some purposes but not others." - Hewitt and Shulman's Self & Society 11th ed p22

Here is a my collection of things. At some point, I cathected on the collection of things and thus become important to me. A lot of time was spent compiling, saving, organizing, salvaging this information from an external hard drive, emails, memory only to have it deleted when it crashes: all work gone. This is like my public sticky notes or to do list, thoughts, and more. So enjoy. I welcome any feedback, debates, questions. I do not claim to be anything but an observant human with free time and a passion for understanding AN ENTIRE PROCESS. By no means am I trying to be pedantic with this. Before you demonize me please consider the dates of some of the essays, updates, and things are incomplete. So please, spare me any unnecessary hate.

Unintended Consequences

Let me spell this out explicitly, by no means does reading this information or downloading mean you KNOW it. Knowledge is power, but by knowing a small sample or incomplete piece of information can have delusional effects. Meaning, just because you have my notes on whatever does that mean you MASTERED it. This is where the practice comes in: knowledge is nice but actually DOING something is different. So please, don't badger a professor or professional JUST BECAUSE you read something somewhere. This is NOT what this is intended for. And please, don't try these procedures unless you are professionally trained to. Exerting power through menial amounts of information is NOT what I want this to be. Respect the time they put into something and please remember that there is a respectful way of inquiring.

In Terms Of Licensing

I would like to reiterate that the work done in this page should not be used directly or indirectly to produce a commodity that has a price tag. Education is priceless. My wish is that this perpetuates the idea of the "Old School" system of education in its true function. The work in this page should carry the same spirit as MIT’s OpenCourseWare, Khan Academy, Free MCATprep and Free SATprep, Textbook Revolution nothing more, nothing less. Talking sincerely as one human to another, please do not copy and paste or even alter just to get ahead.
