"Knowledge is power. But power is not the ''acquisition'' of knowledge; it is not the elites collecting items of data. Rather, power is the ''practice'' of knowledge as a socially constructed system, within which the elites spread their messages or discourses."

== Introduction ==
{{Image|Bitstrip avatar ChristineBushMV 2014.png|left|120px|I'm here to help.}} &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 Jos&#233; 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 and watercolors. 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 am also curating an online archive of my late father's files. I have a blog at ideaspeak.us and paint watercolors to relax.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have been awarded two "barnstars" for my contributions to Wikipedia and I occasionally still contribute 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 am interested in most encyclopedic projects and see no reason why one needs to declare any kind of allegiance to any particular platform. Each is a tool with strengths and weaknesses and most are open source allowing for the exchange of information between them.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I want to see CZ grow and thrive because I think its article cluster schema is one of the most useful and scholarly available.
=== Notes to Self ===
:''Always look first to your subject matter and sources for guidance and companionship.''
:''Leave work and experiences from Wikipedia (good and bad) at the door.''
