WHY DO YOU USE CVILLEPEDIA?
I hope to participate in the formation of a grand synthesis of data by which I will be aided in my mission to discover the answers to the deepest questions inherent to human nature, experience this penultimate epiphany fully and then undertake creative activities that will heal the wounds of our collective soul. Starting with Charlottesville.
WHERE DO YOU CVILLEPEDIA?
Wherever I can make a net connection. I lurk around McGuffey Art Center a lot.
CVILLEPEDIA TIP FOR OTHERS?
Imagine how great it would be to one day have an article written about a dream project that hasn't materialized yet because of a current lack of relevant information. Try to envision our cybernetic archiving of the past and present as a means to a future where more good dreams are fulfilled...
