Scottypedia: a post-senior-project project.

Here’s something I’d like to add to this site, once my Bard senior project is good and done: The Scottypedia.

What is the Scottypedia? Well, to explain it best, here’s a quote from me:

The Scottypedia is a MediaWiki encyclopedic website, in the style of Wikipedia, and editable only by me, Scott Jon Siegel. Rather than articles being objective, they will instead be entirely subjective, based solely on my opinion of various topics, such as games, music, television, technology, and family and friends.

There you have it. On a more intellectual level, the project would an undertaking in a personalized encyclopedia, a unique method of recording and presenting biographical information about me on the internet. On a less intellectual level, it’s a totally self-important, egotistical endeavor, which will likely never get off the ground due to (oh, I don’t know…) minor technical issues with getting MediaWiki to run on the server.

Has this been done before? Probably. Will I do it this time? Maybe. Either way, I’ll keep you posted. Back to sproj I go.

I heartily endorse this product and/or service. Seriously, though, I love it. Everyone should have their own Fimoculous page, and they should be versatile enough that they can be like Fimoculous or like Scottypedia or what have you. Of course, it’s entirely possible at the moment, it just needs everyone to hack together their page. Soon enough.

As amazing (and terrifying) as life-aggregating sounds, I think I’ll stick to keeping my web presences somewhat disparate (Neal Stephenson was totally wrong; in the Metaverse different companies own different parts of your body [and Yahoo will eventually own all of them]).

Thanks for your endorsement, Mark, and thanks for reading. You’ve just earned yourself a positive article in the Scottypedia. I’ll let you know when it gets going.
