       ''De nada.''


{{Image|Bitstrip avatar ChristineBushMV 2014.png|left|120px|I'm here to help.}}        I'm an independent writer and researcher living in Mountain View, California. I earned a B.A. in Liberal Arts from Excelsior College. My earlier undergraduate work focused on English Literature, Philosophy and Cognitive Science at NC State University. I attended San Jose State University where I studied Geography and History at the graduate level. I have training and work experience in geospatial  technologies and continue to enjoy creating maps for various projects using open source GIS tools. I have over 15 years of experience as a web developer. I am researching and writing a book about the intersection of embodiment and epistemology when not working on a botanically-related app. I have a blog at ideaspeak.us and paint watercolors to relax.


      I have been awarded two "barnstars" for my contributions to Wikipedia. I am the primary contributor to the article on "Encyclopedic knowledge" and a major contributor to the article on "Open educational resources." I find the online culture at Wikipedia to be toxic. I hope to contribute original maps and articles relating postcolonial studies and postmodernism to CZ. I also want to help [[CZ:Basic_Article_List|fill in the gaps]].
      I wish to continue to support Citizendium financially, and I am working to implement a safe, secure way for donations by check in addition to using PayPal. I want to see CZ grow and thrive because I think its article cluster schema is one of the most useful and scholarly available.
=== June 2014 Election ===
      I am excited to have been given a chance to serve a one-year term on the '''Citizendium Council''' as an ''Author Representative''. It was eye-opening, however, to discover just how few of us actually participated in this election. We have work to do.
       During the current term, I intend to work to increase participation on CZ and to encourage more contributors to vote next year. I also want new users to feel welcome to contact me directly with any questions about writing articles. I make no claim to having all the answers, only to having the right experience to find them for you.

=== Unrecoverable and As-Yet-Unrealized Sources ===
''...But new materials are continually being scanned, and the same methods that build a compelling historical argument one year may undo the argument the next because of new fodder for the keyword searches. In some cases, the answers to historians’ questions may lie forever out of reach, because they were printed in very minor publications that will never be captured by Google or ProQuest; or printed in sources now lost, like the newspapers in the British Museum destroyed by a German bomb in World War II; or discussed orally without ever being printed anywhere; or printed and digitized but expressed in discourse whose semantics cannot be matched by Boolean searching of words and phrases.''<br />
