You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1
Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

But but but I want more links in the paper
Ok, now I officially feel like I've been blogging far too long. I'm finishing up my first week of writing my quals paper. So far I almost have one section, a significant one at that, done.
Stats = 3,491 words, 31 citations, 14 pages double spaced.
But I have to admit it is killing me. I keep wanting to add links. Links to definitions, links to more information, links to blogs that have discussed the academic article that I'm presenting, links to other sections of the paper itself that build upon this section. I have been subsumed by hypertext linking.
Somewhere along the line I have stopped just thinking non-linearly and have begun expecting my world to function on multiple planes. I think this is good...but frustrating since this paper has to be presented on paper and paper is boringly, traditionally linear. *sigh*
After tomorrow I will have to set the quals paper aside so I can concentrate on revising my Digital Generations chapter for the April 30 deadline. Lots of writing to do over the next few months. I have these two, quals and DG chapter, and an invited chapter for an ethnography text - a revised version of a paper I wrote for a class several years ago - that will be due in June though they would like it asap. "What publisher ever says "take your time?" LOL

I am writing my MA thesis on Metafilter, and I was writing this week and had the exact same thought. Nice!
