March 22, 2007 (PST) from TESOL in Seattle. My mother always had one drawer called a "junk drawer" in our house. Odds and ends that didn't quite have their own place were put here. Erasers, scotch tape, foreign coins, a never-used ash tray, a part from some long gone kitchen aid. This wiki of mine is something like that. It's kind of my place to put stuff. Hopefully some others can find something useful among the useless stuff. Good luck with that...

Jan. 8, 2007 (JST). This site is based on wiki technology. I'm currently thinking that a more bloggy format might be more useful, or maybe even a bliki. I'll have to do some research. Currently, I'm using wordpress over at our dicussion group here in Osaka Japan, and it seems that wordpress is winning the blog battle in terms of private installations (in contrast to Blogger for instance, which you have to use through their website).

What's wrong with Movable Type? There seemed to be some doubts about continuing support for Movable Type and others don't like the fact that it is built on PERL which is a language I have never bothered with. I'm still not totally committed to a blog technology, so I'll wait and see. I just found Bill Poser, another person I have a lot of respect for, uses Word Press? for his blog. So a very limited subset of experts leaves the vote tied. Time to make my vote, but maybe I do actually need a bliki! Hehe... But I don't even know any names of Bliki setups. No hurry to decide.

What I don't like about the wiki? It's easy to get stuff all the heck over the place. Two levels sounds nice as the Home Page two levels you see above. This wiki also doesn't take html easily, which is nice for external paste-ins (see my Classes.Phonetics on the bottom where I pasted in a dialect survey).

Old Home Page

I'm a bit ambivalent about using my name as a website. However, I couldn't bear to see somebody else own this domain so I bought it. Since it was just sitting there, I decided to use it to try out some wiki technology. Slowly it became my main place to keep stuff, outside of my cluttered home and college offices. Now I can keep everything off site on some server that I don't even know where it is.

I like to think of a wiki as liquid information. A phrase made popular in Wired Magazine. In my case, I write a section, then a day or two later edit it again if I see the need to. For example my bicycle crash was edited several times. It still might change. In this way, information is not fixed, but ever changing and improving. I hope. This is but one very humble example of how information could be called liquid. A further wiki feature which you could take advantage of is the fact that it is potentially editable by anyone. I have mostly closed this down but there are some collaborative sections that are either open or that I share the password for.

If you would like to contact me, send me an e-mail at *brian@at@popear.dot.org*

A note about browsers: When I originally set up this wiki, I was using Safari and soon switched to Firefox after this. They both work fine but actually Explorer worked best. I am not happy to admit this, because it is otherwise a pathetic, outdated browser. I surmise that Paul Michaud the creator of pmWiki used Explorer in the development. Opera looks the best, when it doesn't totally mess up the formatting, which happens much too often.

I have created this website as a personal tool. When I finally tried a wiki for myself, I realized it was the answer to many questions that arose naturally in my work, research and friendships. I had done some work on a blog but somehow found it too unfluid and constraining. I needed some way to easily edit my website from any computer in the world. I wanted to I wanted to be able to collaborate with colleagues easily. I wanted to be able to teach a class and quickly have the same information available on the web (I imagine teaching a class and instead of using a chalkboard, using a computer and a projector and directly editing my wiki). In this wiki I hope to keep all sorts of information, some things that are only for me and therefore you won't be able to see, some that will involve collaboration for students or colleagues. Some that are open to the world.

Technically, this is a wiki setup. However, I am treating it as a blog in the sense that It is not meant to be a collaborative website. Although I do hope to construct some collaborative modules so that groups, such as colleagues and I or my students can work together. At this moment if you happen to stumble across this, which I doubt, you have full editing access. Please don't edit anything though.

If you want to go play in the Wiki Sandbox, go ahead. While there you can leave me a note! I'll be surprised, because although some people know about my wiki, nobody knows the address. However, I suppose if you do find it and you're not 1 million monkeys typing in random UR Ls?, I probably told you and therefore you may edit with the discretion that good friends show.

This is my Teawiki. Now, how to set it so the major headings aren't so big, and the font is a little clearer. This is the organizing principle of my life.
