Honestly, I hate admitting I don’t know things. My sister loves to tell me “You don’t know!” — especially when I would respond to anything she told me with “I know.” So, it was interesting for me to be in a class where I had no delusions of knowing and no investment in denying my ignorance. Of course, I still didn’t ask questions every time I didn’t know or didn’t understand something and I certainly didn’t learn everything I need to know to use digital media/technologies as effectively as I know they can be used.

That said, I learned a lot this semester and the final project for this class was possibly one of the most concretely useful assignments I’ve had in my (too, too) many years of school.[1] Building a personal quasi-database from my research was both incredibly challenging and rewarding. Fortunately, someone else did the hard technical part – writing the software that makes a wiki work – and all I had to do was add content.

At least, I thought all I had to do was add content.

My website is less an actual “website” and more of a research tool. It’s a personal wiki with organized and cross-references notes from my research for my dissertation.

Eventually, I’d like to make this into a truly public site, so any suggestions for organization, clarification, etc. are very much appreciated.

wiki!
