Van Castillo: Home

Well, I got sick of the derivative byow. The novel idea got old: add strangers, make comments, change colors, customize trivial things for your aesthetics. Ultimately, blogs were the better avenue.

"What we sculpt this 'reality' to be is probing and tentative, partial and incomplete, useful for some purposes but not others." - Hewitt and Shulman's Self & Society 11th ed p22

I would like to post my ideas out in an organized manner and in any manner I see fit.

And seriously, who are the majority of "friends" in a person's "space," in reality are you corresponding with them or are they more like a collection? Not "friends" but strangers: internet acquaintances at best.

Before you demonize me please consider the dates of some of the essays, updates, and things that are incomplete unless of course I am the leading scientist of any of these topics (I doubt it). So please, spare me any unnecessary hate.

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES

Reading this information does not mean you KNOW it. Meaning, just because you have my notes on whatever does that mean you MASTERED it. This is where the practice comes in: knowledge is nice but actually DOING something is different. Do not use my notes as the sole basis of recreating procedures/techniques, chemical reactions, experiments and debating with professors (probably for points). This is NOT the site is intended.

Stagnant original blogs must be restructured and reinvigorated. So this is the next round of ~~extending the blogs back to the original as much as possibl~~e. Reorganize what was documented.
Projects are still the same: enlightening the esoteric.

Attaching slides is too bulky, going to start cutting weight. Past attachments to be turned into posts.

This will never end.

LICENSING

I would like to reiterate that the all the work inside the pages and posts of this blog should not be used directly or indirectly for commercial purposes. You cannot use any of this work inside the pages and posts to create a product or commodity.

Education is priceless.

My wish is that this perpetuates the idea of the "Old School" system of education in its true function. The work in this page should carry the same spirit as MIT’s OpenCourseWare, Khan Academy, Free MCATprep and Free SATprep, Textbook Revolution, UC Davis nothing more, nothing less.

Talking sincerely as one human to another, please do not copy and paste or even alter just to get ahead.

And no, there are no exceptions to the creative commons license explicitly written anywhere in this space/blog/whatever. I will never waive my rights to the creative commons license in real life or electronically and any such forms/files/documents is false, fabricated, null and void.

The same apples as before from http://www.wikyblog.com/Van_Castillo and nothing has changed aside from the address aside from a second rebuild organization.

Previously there were partial clones to test other services such as Wikia. It was abandoned but work retained in Wikiblog.
As of 81113 I was unable to create new pages, which was the justification for two clone blogs by the same author: to Blogger(this site) and Wordpress.
As of 81213 Wikiblog apparently has crashed.
Any previous work from Wikiblog done and documented via the XML document in Wordpress and Blogger (should the crash/shutdown be permanent) is under the same protection as the original blog.
