Wiki is kinda cool.

My experience with Wiki is going pretty civilly right now. So far, I haven't made any changes to the Octavarium wiki. I've been participating in a discussion with one of those people who "guard wiki" about how we can incorporate the fact that Octavarium is a concept album in the article. I learned that there used to be a section about how Octavarium is a concept album before, but it was taken down because it was all based on personal research. I've found a website that documents most of the album's conceptual themes, so I wonder if the others are the page will consider that to be "good enough"?

As for my Electronic Literature discussion, I first need to reread Hales. After that, I'll have more updates.

EDIT:

I realize no one knows this band I'm talking about, so here's an official vid that they've allowed on the net.

They have MUCH better material and MUCH better performances than this, but I don't want to post something with a copywrite.

  1. This is a good start and it is good that you have been talking to the guard wiki and have been coming up with ideas on how to do this. how do you get in touch with this "guard wiki" i am trying to start a headline on mine and cannot figure it out. ANy ideas? i think this is interesting though and i think you can make the connection to this class with that. good luck!

  2. Hey, it seems like you have an idea of what you want to do. I am glad I stopped at your page because I am getting annoyed at all the music that is being played on the radio. Recently I've been trying to listen to different genres of music and i think i will have to go home and give this a listen. Anyways, it seems like you have everything under control. If you could prove the conceptual themes of this album, i believe you will be able to fit right into the wiki page

  3. I must admit that I had to look up Octavarium. Maybe you can add some music or a link to utube. I clicked on site on your blog. This sounds like a good topic. How does it connect with your research topic. And tell us more on the band. Can't wait to hear or read what you wrote.
