Where have five years gone?

Amazingly, five years (almost) have elapsed since I last posted to this project.  Notes have been lost or misplaced, and time has done it's usual work.  Still, looking back at what I started in 2007, I remain intrigued by Whitehead and the possibilities of this project.  It seems that I'm still interested, although I'm even further from academia and scholasticism than before, and even more steeped in other ways of looking at the world.

So, to begin again.  I am tentatively planning to pick up the threads once more, as time allows (So many creative projects, so little time!), and we will see how far it runs.  Luckily, there are no deadlines! (Except, of course, death, the ultimate deadline.)

I'm pleased, I guess, to note a fairly steady (but small) flow of visitors to this site.  I haven't analyzed the source of this web traffic, but I suspect my visitors are students searching for material for their coursework (the dreaded term papers, and so on).  So I think a little reminder about academic honesty is in order.

The gist of it is: cite your sources and use quotation marks were appropriate.  Please don't aggravate your professors by making them hunt for plagiarism.  Dishonesty in any form is bad karma.

With that said, time to pick up the book and dive in ...

 As before, read this first to get an overview and introduction to the project.
