My tea rosetta stone

This is an exercise in Google Docs

as much as anything else.

When I come across tea terms I add them to my rosetta stone file with a simple editor. The newest entries go on top. I show the characters, pinyin and accompanying note. It is freeform enough so I can add my to the end of the line to indicate my teas. In this case the 3 entries at the top came from using Google Books and finding colony tea terms.

I have over 2000 line items of chinese,japanese,korean, and russian. When I come across a tea term it is very easy to search the file to see if it already exists. For other reasons I might put the tea term somewhere else in the file. I wished I had dates for the entries. One of these days I might show all of my work over the decades.

yes it is amazing what we can do, harvest, save, sort, information, i recommend using excel for sorting your things, with a cut and paste and search and machine translate we can self-learn so so much... i wonder what it will be like for future historians looking back at us...it is great that they will have lots of archives to look at, but it might be a sea of info and very hard to sort out.
