Yes, of course I am.
In honor of the recent suicide of Hunter S. Thompson* I'd like to coin
the term "gonzo taxonomy". It's closely related to the current trend
for "tagging" as a way of indexing art works on sites like Flickr. The
art administrator side of me hates this trend, the artist side of me
loves it. Messy, sure, but it may be one possible path to follow.
*Thompson coined the term "gonzo journalism" to describe a genre where
the journalist inserts himself into his story. His most famous work was
"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas."
