Venting

I am trying to decide if it's a generational thing, but it seems to me that people are becoming increasingly self important. Maybe those people just bug me. Shrinks say that if you need to tell/show how great you are, then you are pretty small inside. Actually, it isn't really that those people number even as much as 10% of the population, but I am just very aware of them. I need to just ignore more. It seems that everyone is ADHD, and I think this program is making me become that way. I am simultaneously reading so many different things and thinking about so many different projects that it becomes confusing. I do think it is a mistake to explore works for too long which are believed to demonstrate concepts: we need to cover more ground. I think it occurs to satisfy instructors' needs--keep them in their comfort zone longer. I do find connections endlessly between different areas that I am exploring.

Techno Hazards and Resolutions

I was really amazed at how easy google has made it to set up a website. Thank goodness for google. I was frightened by the prospect of maintaining an ejournal, but now it is merely a matter of finding all of the scattered materials that should be on it. If they had only had us set up the page the first day of the MATX program, life would have been so much easier. Perhaps they will manage that for the next class who will not have to suffer as many start-up problems as we, the guinea pigs, have. It was also quite simple to establish this blog. Now, if my PhD program could just catch up to google, I'd be all set! I have been thinking a great deal about the integration of text and visuals. I seem to confront the subject everywhere that I turn. I suppose it is just because I am thinking about it for a seminar paper, or is the concept surging to the forefront?
