schooooool

I dont know if this is going to inspire any ideas, but...

What if instead of going to school like we do now, we tell some "institution" what our intentions are, they give us certificates of study, like licenses to pursue different subjects, and then we update them on our progress along the way, and as we research further and become more of an authority in the field(s) of our choice, we are presented different certificates of achievement. Then we could learn and progress as an individual at our own pace. And we wouldnt have to wake up for 8 o'clock classes.... man...

idea list for means

So I figure that we need to start compiling a list of article ideas

I have started said list with the ideas I remember

Please if you have any ideas for articles, send them along to me

Send them in the format of a title, and a blurb explaining the direction

Also say if you would like to write the idea, or if its up for grabs

I will compile them and then later we can assign writers.editors.graphics

When we have a bigger list, we can start having weekly meetings with the editors and writers so that they articles get done sooner than last minute nonsense

so send away everybody
