i was caught again last night describing to a friend my theory behind my 'exteremely personal' (as some have put it) blob here and again, felt like my words were failing me as usual, so, when i should be studying for midterms, i went and found two pages that describe the penopticon consicely, accurately, and as i understand it. i'm not sure if i'm trying to change my life, challenge myself, or i'm just desperate to tell my life story, but it's a source of excitement and amusement knowing that people i don't know, and people i know and love dearly, may be watching at any given moment....*creepy music*

the first, from UCLA, is a good, quick description of it including a picture of it's origins as a prison scheme. the first section is enough to read, the 'virtual' part seems kinda dumb to me.

the second, from GSU Law is a more indepth page with a bit of discussion and different points of view. i will also make some sort of description page to link all this to from my main page, so if you don't have time to read them now, fear not, you won't have to go search through ALL my gibberish to find these links again ; )

i enjoy explaining it, but after about five times it gets a bit redundant, and not everyone who reads this talks to me *shrugs*

ahh...i love studying for midterms. at some point i do want to delve deeper into the penopticon and understand it better; as well as find the critics against it. maybe i'll take it on spring break....heh...heh heh. i guess i'll try but in the past two spring breaks i've read a total of like, 1.5 pages. i rule.
