The Nexus
 

This is a bit of an experiment in information organization. From here, you can access keywords in the journal entries and site descriptions. The Nexus should act as a routing station for discussion. If you are reading about towers on Sept. 22nd, clicking on the word tower will bring you here, where you can see where else towers are discussed, and visit those days or site pages.
