Several of my meatspace friends have told me how innovative I am for blogging my independent study. While I would love to think that I'm original in some areas and I definitely appreciate their support, what I'm up to here is so not a new idea.

There are a bunch of wonderful research and Rhet/Comp blogs out there, but these two guys were my big inspirations. Both are using their blogs to organize a thesis and a dissertation these days. It's only right to acknowledge them here.
