Web 2.o
A simple definition is the Wiki definition, but there is more to it and we will provide pages of original work that will give you a deeper understanding of Web 2.o. For starters, here is our definition of Web 2.o. Papers of interest can be found on the Web 2.o Index. Some may wonder why we spell it 2.o instead of 2.0. Simple, people call it 'two-point-oh,' and not 'two-point-zero.'

Along with Web 2.0 comes digital age ethics Main Ethics Index.

Graphic Design

Who Are We?
There are many things of interest in the world of technology...well, in life in general. After six years of maintaining this site it all boils down to this: Do It Yourself. Start by taking control of your mental health with Brain Self-Control as you work towards self-realization and intellectual/spiritual maturation. Learn to play with the Web tools: Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, HTML, etc., and empower yourself with graphic design skills so that you can communicate with your world more effectively. To survive within our digital culture you need to learn a new set of ethics that drives Web 2.o. With the digital age comes increased responisiblity. Your creative nature may lead you to explore the world of music...our favorite...art, writing, poetry, history, etc..regardless of what path you take...just Do It Yourself, and learn to express yourself creatively. Deal with what the world/nature throws at you. This site provides you with many of the tools needed to DIY, with the ultimate goal being self-realization and self-sufficiency. Play with audio recording, digital photography, jazz, the blues, and the arts in general. But, it does not end there. You take control of your life by learning to maintain your computer system...Mac or Windows...as well as your biological computer system of brain and body. Enjoy.
