Site Map

While trying to organize my thoughts about what to write about next, I figured it would be useful to make some kind of topic list. Then I figured I might as well make this available on the site itself. Then I figured that I might as well just make a Site Map page that can track what I’ve already written about as well as what I expect to write about in the future.

So here it is. Items that I’ve already written about are shown with their links. Other items have no links or have temporary links to external sites. The structure will undoubtedly change as I add more material to the site.

Articles

This folder is for general articles which don’t obviously fit in any of the other categories - usually because they cover multiple topics.

Communication and Understanding [November 24, 2007 - 7 printed pages]

I’ve thought about collapsing the following six items under a common heading such as Themes or Topics, but since they represent the major conceptual themes underlying the site I figured that they each deserve to be top-level items in their own right.

Note that articles in these sections will intersect with the Book Plan and other areas of the site in a kind of tapestry. I’ll be discussing this in an article titled Thinking in 2-d under Thinking Differently

Knowledge Infrastructures

Influences

This section will contain short articles on people who have significantly influenced my thinking on these topics in one way or another. Many others who have simply written interesting books will be covered in the References section.

References

This section will contain an organized list of references to significant books, articles, websites, etc., that are relevant to the topics covered on this site. Items that are of specific interest only in the context of a specific page or topic will be referenced inline.

Tutorials

This section will contain a series of mini-tutorials on technical topics I want to write about, with the hope that people who don’t have sufficient background will be able to subsequently follow at least the major elements of my thinking in these areas.
