This page represents an experimental effort in writing, consisting in an outline to a book-length work that I hope to complete and at some point publish. This outline itself will grow and change over time, but each individual bullet in the outline will be drafted and published as a separate blog post, and when available will be linked from this page. As time goes by, this mere outline will form into a complete work available to be read in a linear fashion, but the intent is that the individual topics can be read largely independently.
Most critical in this process is your feedback -- I will accept all comments, criticisms, questions, research and supporting facts, etc., and will address and incorporate these into the work. This is the methodology of Renaissance 2.0 -- leveraging the best of individualism and collaboration to create the best possible works of art, literature, and music. So without further adieu, I present...
