Publishing my own papers

Since the end of the semester is upon me again, I begin thinking about all the work that goes into papers and projects that eventually "die" and remain out of sight for the rest of their days. Hardcopies have days that are numbered, but digital works will hopefully stand the test of time (unless irresponsibility gets the best of me). It kind of hurts that I pour so much heart and effort into a paper or a project and that it doesn't seem to have any function after the semester is done.

Therefore, I think it would be a good idea to publish my own works on this blogger thingy. Hopefully then, it will be visible to the public and help expand science on the web. I feel like I can contribute in somewhat of a 'non-professional' way. Hell...maybe one of my works can be used as a resource for some kid surfing the web at 2 AM, trying to get his geography homework paper in on time the next day. Who knows...I'm just gonna lay it out there and the public can do what they will with it.

So this will be a project of mine going forward. I'll probably be starting from the most recent and what's on the 'top of the stack' of projects I plan to post. So stay tuned for more!
