Mythic Logos

Today I take my first steps into blogging. The goal is to record the mythic journey of creation of a logos masterpiece.

My hope is to create a series of materials and methods that will lead to free minds. This will be the story of assembling the materials and how-to’s so that myself and others may learn as well.

Taming the art of the web and publishing is a daunting task. The main tools all exist: jQuery, Flot TeX, Python, GeoGebra, Gnuplot, and all the normal web technologies. Putting all of this together in an easy to use form is quite challenging.

The vision I have is to set up a system with a variety of uses: students for which everything is produced and easy to use; most teachers for which default materials or simple changes are sufficient and done simply; more advanced needs for which some programming parts are exposed; and ultimate developer education for complete freedom to develop.

My plan is to setup a basic system over the next few weeks with a few sample topics. Once I have a decent system in place, my hope is to spend four hours a day, doing one full topic. In this way, I could have a decent start by 1/10.

I will be making video tutorials, notes (basic/advanced), calculator tips, computer exploration directions from simple CAS to programming, guidelines to producing problems of this type, questions/tests, unlimited problem trials via web.

At the end, I will use all of this material to produce a book in addition to the website housing all of this material.

I have in mind a variety of other projects and I may write about those ideas and experiences as well. In particular, I want to explore the mythos/logos notion, applying it to ontological quantum theories to put a little magic back into the world of science.
