How do you navigate this wiki?
The colored squares below are your menu. Click on a square and see what happens!! At the top of every other page on this site, you will see four colored squares. Each one will take you somewhere. Some link back to other pages, others will be a total surprise!

Every page has a set of colored squares. These squares operate as links. As with the links on this welcome page, some will take you off the site, others will link to other pages within the site.

The Wunderkammer Idea
"Wunderkammer" is German for "chamber of wonder". From Renaissance times until modern times, rooms or shops, even small cabinets, were devoted to the purpose of displaying unique artifacts. The items were arranged in ways that were surprising and always left the guests with a sense of wonder.

This is the same idea behind this site. The colored squares are left deliberately blank so you don't know where you'll go when you click on them. By wandering around the site, you uncover the pages in your own unique order. Your experience of the site will be your own. Hopefully, this will ignite your sense of wonder.

Don't worry! If you get totally lost or frustrated with the colored squares, the menu will always be on the right side of the screen.--->
