A comprehensive, interactive information structure noted as the preeminent bio-bibliographic resource on the life and work of American writer Richard Gary Brautigan (1935-1984).

Begun in 1984, this body of work attempts to collect, connect, and overlay the scrambled, disparate, and hard to find scholarship and other assessments of Brautigan's legacy.

My methodology in developing and curating this project is largely topographical in that I conceptualize information as horizontal, spread thinly across a broad, flat surface. Knowledge, on the other hand, is the ability to structure, from this information, something more hierarchical and dimensional. The secret is to stretch or extend the body of information by making connections, or providing additional insight, throughout. The result is protusions in the flat surface. More protusions increases the opportunity for more connections, the development of a larger knowledge base, and enhanced understanding or appreciation of the subject.

As an online three dimensional "data hive," Brautigan Bibliography and Archive collects, connects and overlays disparate information sources with ethnographic research to provide an accurate, cross referenced accounting of Brautigan's life and his many novels, short story collections, poetry collections, spoken voice recordings, and non-fiction writing.

"Sounds of My Life" combines oral history, field recordings, soundscapes, found sounds, appropriation, cut ups, sound effects, and audio narrative sampling to provide an acousmatic, biographical soundscape in the context of a 28-minute radio program best experienced through acousmatic listening. Sound files are edited for length only and are not modified from their original recording characteristics via filtering, or other forms of electronic manipulation. "Sounds of My Life" is not a typical radio documentary, nor is it a narrated history. Rather, it is an attempt to tell a complicated story using voices of those who actually instigated the historical events included, or the original files of the aural events.

Multiple original images were taken by moving the camera along a predetermined plane at right angles to each scene. The resulting images were then combined and rephotographed in order to create the panoramic vistas not normally captured by cameras or the human eye. Each image is substantially reduced in size in order to facilitate its fit within the context of this webpage.

Dr. John's Eazy-Peazy Guide to Creative Ideas was included in 101 Best Websites for Secondary Teachers (James Lerman. New York: International Society for Technology in Education, 2005), was featured in The Help Desk (1(6) June 21, 2002), an online newsletter supporting Kentucky education, and was selected by Encyclopedia Britannica as one of its "100 Best Websites for Teachers." Good Web Guide called Dr. John "perhaps the internet's most helpful lecturer."

A hypertext essay examining preliminary theoretical, pedagogical, and methodological implications of cybernetic ecology, interpreted here as a productive interaction between people and computers.

A hypertext essay exploring using problem solving computer games like Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? to involve intermediate and advanced second language learners in reading, listening, researching, and decision making exercises – all of which can provide challenging, interesting, and meaningful contexts for improving second-language writing skills.

A hypertext essay with Dene Grigar critiquing and analyzing the Town Hall Meetings at the Computers and Writing 1999 Conference. Builds on complex and disparate attitudes from multiple conference participants to build a multilayered, multivocal work consisting of three embedded webtexts: "Sequential Writing with Hyperlinks," "Interactive Webtext," and "Randomly Generated Text." Each offers a unique lens through which to view the Town Hall Meetings, while at the same time presenting the same information in different ways.

A hypertext essay with Dene Grigar and Becky Rickley reporting on the first ever Town Hall Meetings at the Computers and Writing 1998 Conference. The purpose of this meeting was to explore the future of the computers and writing community, a pioneering group of academics who experimented with computers for research and teaching.
