Gathering

===This Wiki could be used as my space for collecting, categorizing and composing my writing and research for my studies in the new interdisciplinary [|Media, Art and Text]program at [|Virginia Commonwealth University] in Richmond, VA. Some of my media explorations can be found in Beeble's Blog === === Though I enjoy using digital media and I appreciate the new challenges and opportunities it presents but I'm still a bigger fan of that more ancient, sturdy and endlessly applicable technology the ALPHABET. ===

===A convenient and useful way to gather research materials is to use online texts and copy-and-paste to gather the passages you might cite or that might be useful in developing your writing or supporting a thesis. Note how I use different colors and fonts to distinguish my notes from my citations to help prevent accidental plagiarism. I can also pair up passages with relevant source texts and embed my resources as files (.pdf "portable document format" or .doc .docx "Word document"). You could even copy-and-paste passages from one of your sources and have the source file embedded next to the citations chosen. ===

"Bokanovsky's Process," repeated the Director, and the students underlined the words in their little notebooks.
=== One egg, one embryo, one adult-normality. But a bokanovskified egg will bud, will proliferate, will divide. From eight to ninety-six buds, and every bud will grow into a perfectly formed embryo, and every embryo into a full-sized adult. Making ninety-six human beings grow where only one grew before. Progress." ===

// My NOTE: Huxley uses many names from history in his novel, but I had always thought that he made up the name "Bokanovsky" and that it had no connection to history. Then I did a search for "Bokanovsky" in academic journals and I found an interesting source: // in this format OR this format HUXLEYS BOKANOVSKY.pdf
