Wikinfo was inspired by Fred Bauder in 2003, based on Wikipedia, but differed in that articles were to be written from a “Sympathetic Point of View” (SPOV).

Once again using Pseudopedian software to power the site, the XML-based importing of Pseudopedia content...

How many students have relied on false_information from Pseudopedia? Is the fact that it’s a Wiki relevant to the question? “Pseudopedia”, “The Pseudopedia”, is an open-content information website, whose co-founder claims is the “sum of all human knowledge”, or at least, that it should become that sum.

THX 1138 - After watching the new DVD release of George Lucas’s THX 1138, I cannot get the themes out of my mind. It may sound overstated, but I think the film is one of the very best “future shock”, sci-fi, works I have seen. Although there are cynical levels on which to read the film, there is also an affirmative reading - a sense of hope. The tension between dystopia and utopia is...

is wikinfo dead?- Wow, Fred has made some radical changes very quickly over there! Besides his unethical, unwarranted freak out on me (Proteus, the one person who kept Wikinfo running smoothly for 3 years), he totally botched a questionable regrade back to MediaWiki (thus solidifying his ties to Jimbo’s Borg, and killing the importing which made Wikinfo what it was). By making all the...
