Learning the ropes

One of the big hurdles in graduate school is figuring out what the heck is going on in your field.

My sister had the excellent idea of starting a question blog. The idea is to record all your questions in a blog, sort them by category, and update the entries when you have an answer.

Another idea I have is to start your own dictionary. So everytime you come across some new jargon you don't understand, record it and figure out a good definition (something that you understand). Someday, you'll have your own personal technical dictionary. I'm not sure what is the best way to do this: a wiki, a blog, a text file, a LaTeX file?
