Something is big happening fast!

AS THE PRESENCE of IEEE 802.11x access points increases in airports, restaurants, hotels, homes, corporate campuses, and other public access locations, IBM and others are beginning to talk about the creation of a single, virtual WLAN (wireless LAN) with seamless coverage across North America.
I imagine a huge network of “echos” like we had on the BBSs – a modern Fido-net. Hopefully this will be possible without any central anything.

Fantastic Josh. I love it! I get killed in the first minute each time, but may get it soon 🙂
Psychological truth
Guardian Unlimited Books | Review | Scientist or storyteller?
Philosophies that capture the imagination never wholly fade. From Animism to Zoarastrianism, every view known to man retains at least a few devotees. There might always be Freudians, and there will always be admirers of Freud’s great imaginative and literary powers; these two, as the foregoing remarks suggest, are intimately linked. But as to Freud’s claims upon truth, the judgment of time seems to be running against him.
Nah! Truth is not as simple as it looks in this review. Psychological truth is hard won… vampires do not exist so how do we examine them and even more importantly slay them? This is bread and butter stuff for a psychotherapist.
My Jung page
Above is the link to my Jung page. I have just updated it after five years of neglect! Well neglect perhaps but it was always good to know it was therer. Appreciated. The most important thing is that I have added a list of articles by Jungians on the Net and technology. Of course I also got rid of the old orange background colour and tightend up the layout.

Unfortunately the link does not work anymore – what about the web archive?
BookPage Interview February 2000: Peter Matthiessen
BookPage Interview February 2000: Peter Matthiessen
To the suggestion that such attention to detail is part of his appeal, Matthiessen replies, “I think in any writing you’re paying attention to detail. E. M. Forster made that wonderful observation that good writing is administering a series of tiny astonishments. The astonishments aren’t things you never knew. What they are is sort of the first articulation of something you knew but you’d never seen set down in print. And you say, Ah, yes! How true.”
I have been listening to a tape: The Zen of the Writers life – Loving it – a lot of the good stuff is also in this interview.
The Psychology of Cyberspace
The purpose of this online hypertext book is to explore the psychological dimensions of environments created by computers and online networks. It is intended as an evolving conceptual framework for understanding the various psychological components of cyberspace and how people react to and behave within it. This framework is the basis for my ongoing research on what I call “the psychology of cyberspace” – or simply “cyberpsychology.” I hope it will serve as a useful framework for other researchers as well. Continually being revised and expanded, this hypertext book originally was created in January of 1996.
A thorough and useful site, i have looked at it and linked to it many times. I am currently working on an article and will need to pop into John’s site.
Even though the approach here is not in my own preferred Jungian or archetypal tradition there are items that I find thought provoking e.g:
Cyberspace as Psychological Space
When one experiences cyberspace as this extension of one’s mind – as a transitional space between self and other – the door is thrown wide open for all sorts of fantasies and transference reactions to be projected into this space. Under ideal conditions, people use this as an opportunity to better understand themselves, as a path for exploring their identity as it engages the identity of other people. Under less than optimal conditions, people use this psychological space to simply vent or act out their fantasies and the frustrations, anxieties, and desires that fuel those fantasies.
He has a great story about the: “The True and Essential Self” (search google with quote marks intact.)
