    @BoraZ my only complaint after finally getting through story piece is that you left rich media/visual story to end, almost as afterthought

    @jtotheizzoe as a punchline, but also as segue to a future post. Also, working on deadline on busy week with too-long post already.

    @BoraZ I figured that would be the subject of the next post. :) (visual media) @jtotheizzoe

    @BoraZ Like at the end of a TV show episode, where you set the plot for the next week's show. :)

    @BoraZ I agree. Most of mine are at least tangentially related to each other. Compounds the info with each one.

    @AndreaKuszewski which is why I often self-link a lot in my long posts - it is a continuum, not discrete final products.

    @BoraZ Most of mine take several week, between the research and planning, then the writing and editing. Like each is a micro-book. :D

    BoraZ@BoraZ
    @AndreaKuszewski yes, which is why you and I write epically long posts which people still find time to read and like.

    @BoraZ Right, so do I. And that's smart--like linking to your own explainers. If someone REALLY wanted to learn a lot about it, they can.

    BoraZ@BoraZ
    @AndreaKuszewski Exactly. Follow links-within-links-within links and you'll spend days reading, but will come out wiser in the end ;-)

    @BoraZ One guy said he set my intelligence article as his home page on his website so he could see it every day to remind him of the steps.

    BoraZ@BoraZ
    @AndreaKuszewski Wow! Now that is a compliment!

    AndreaKuszewski@AndreaKuszewski
    @BoraZ Great part about that: the post can stand alone, but the links provide infinite levels of info for whomever wants it= wider reach. ;)

    BoraZ@BoraZ
    @AndreaKuszewski Yes, this! It is up to the reader to use it linearly or non-linearly.

    @BoraZ I know!! I think he's the one that started the second wave of interest.

    @BoraZ I learned that technique w/ my art, actually. I have the primary info that stands alone + deeper meaning & reference, varying levels.

    @BoraZ So someone can look at my collage & appreciate the beauty, color, composition, but if you know art history, there's oodles more.

    BoraZ@BoraZ
    @AndreaKuszewski Yes. Very interested in exploring this - I am actually such a linear writer, need to experiment more.

    @BoraZ I learned so much in art school that influences my non-art work, it was worth it just for that. HA! ;)

    @BoraZ This might be a good topic for #scio12. ;)

    @AndreaKuszewski Yes, expansion of prior science+art sessions we had over the years.

    @BoraZ I can find examples of painters who are brilliant at this, as well as poets, fiction writers. It'd be cool to loop those back to sci.

    @BoraZ How to create the multi-layered science narrative, that targets almost every audience. And they keep going back to it for reference.
