Though class has moved on, I’m still digesting the early chapters of Willard McCarty’s Humanities Computing.

One thought that I posted during my Day of DH blogging is the idea of trying to model oneself. What if you started writing down every self-reflective thought that you have and real-life character example, and subsequently organized them into some sort of logic? Would such a systematic process allow you to derive understanding that you haven’t explicated, by virtue of it seeming “wrong” without it? Would such a removed process help you reach a more concise understanding of your quirks and your motivations?
