Condensing my paper is proving to be very difficult. Firstly, I cannot seem to find a single piece that I do not feel is absolutely necessary. Secondly, I hate rereading my work and I cannot find a single piece that I am happy with. It is a miserable assignment and I loathe humanity for not wanting to read twenty different 18 page theses... forcing us to make them more digestible. I realize that I really am going to have to rewrite much of it and that I wont be able to get away with just cutting parts out and trimming everything down- the whole thing just sounds like a heavy academic paper, not a very good one mind you, but an academic one nonetheless- I don’t think that’s the tone that should be most prominent in this version of our papers- it should probably be something like a concise abstract or review, but when I get wordy I don’t know how to undo the verbiage.
The blog tutorial and the meeting with Boone was very helpful, it's a little bit frustrating because I've designed many websites for groups and individuals and i've always cheated (Frontpage) I've made whole pages that work wonderfully without seeing a single peice of code... I suppose this is a good thing but it feels like everything is unnecasarily slow, why can't i just drag and click? who am i trying to fool by puting in the code for sage green when i can just pick it off a chart? i think it'll be a rewarding experiance nontheless... but I see myself obsessing over every tiny part of the construction of my site and geting lost in the formating
