The Full Nelson

The life and happenings of a WILL intern

03 March, 2006

My major is "Genius"

I’m involved with a class of graduate students. Yes, the University felt I was so good that they slipped under the table a degree in “Genius” and sent me on my way to my Ph.D. Sugar.

So you want to know two things: 1) Why am I telling you this, and 2) How do I do the same thing?

First, let’s tackle the far more difficult first issue. WILL is currently tackling the issue of archiving content and metadata. While others can say they’re doing the same thing, none have near a complete product. I see this as a real test of U of I’s digital archiving brainpower. Get pumped. Uhh.

They want to create a digital nexus of archived content – video and audio – to make it easier for the public to find old programs and for them to easily search past programs. This is not easy, but would be GRRRRREAT!!! if these grad students can make any headway on this project.

So this is why I’m involved with this graduate student class. I, as intern emeritus of this project, will continue my great duty of updating The Full Nelson, and keeping YOU on top of all the positive (of course, there won’t be any negative) progress.

Coooool.

Now, to the second issue: how do you get the University to under-the-table you that coveted piece of paper? As I said, it’s simple.

Become a WILL online intern! Peace.
