The Earth Crosses – a series I began as part of the Thousand Sketches and then added to since. I thought it completed in February 2008, but have done some since not in this selection.

I am exploring how to present image. Online and off.
I have made a rather nice Image gallery using Photoshop, but it takes too long to download! IMO So I have replaced it with a whole mew Gallery! Selected Images February 2008
Simple viewer next, see how that goes!
I have just set up a new art blog. In this Moment. That means this psyberspace space can return to its slow reflection & exploration of the psyche in cyberspace in all its forms, not just the visual.
JustBlogIt with a simple right-click.
I have changed blog software a few times. And I have had a few reasons to reinstall everything, so it is years since I had a right click to blog app.
This one is great.
Tools make a difference, this will lead to more little posts like this one!
JustBlogIt is a Mozilla / Firefox extension to allow easy right-click posting to a weblog. From any website your new blog post is only a right-click away.

I have just learned how to set this up. Bit late, would be good to have had that on the Thousand Sketches However the flow of art & ideas about psyberspace have now come together here, and there is another project brewing!
Ah, Look what I found: OnlineGroups.Net Blog!
Go for it – it looks great in my Google reader. I know that in that team lies the key to effective collaboration on the net. I hope your blog harnesses new & creative blood into the project!
I have had a major re-install and have moved from FeedDemon to Google Reader. Seems fine. It takes a while to set it all up, though I did import my old OPML file. I am also keeping a backup of my Google reader installation, I am sick of re-doing everything as I reinstall the OS.
Here is a link to my Starred & Shared items. Anything I particularly like or just may want to return to or share. So far there are just a couple of concluding posts from Thousand Sketches.
The challenge is to narrow it down so I get less but more relevant posts.

What goes into my brain is as important as what goes into my mouth. In both cases people are spending money to get their stuff in. It cost millions to market a movie, we can make them, and distribute them but to promote them you need millions. They use their power influence my prefrences. Filtering my reading myself seems very important, but I doubt I am getting what I really want, which is more socially filtered versions of the world.
Ironically to fine tune my view of the world I am using a Google product, and thedy are the ultimate owner of the means of promotion.
That last post is something I have been thinking about for ten years. Here is the proof, a proposal I made for a cybernetic conference in 1997, on the theme of Neccessity & Metaphor
Here is the relevant bit:
Possible theme of a paper could be the — Necessity and Metaphor. Contrary to popular belief ‘we can not think what we like’, words and metaphors have a power of their own. I would draw on the ideas of Jung and Hillman and relate it to metaphors of cyberspace. An example I am pondering at the moment is the word ‘depth’ — is the medium conducive to depth, or only breadth, and height?
So when I listen to Collings (see previous post) these old ideas are stirred. Perhaps proving that cyberspace doeas have depth, especially when old ideas can surface.
I have just posted up the last sketch in my project:
It is satisfying to complete something so big, it has been big in my life and it is part of this larger journey of exploring psyberspace.
With my habit of regular blogging established, I think there will be more posts here. There is a lot that the theme here can cover, everything to do with the psyche as well as everything with Cyberspace.
Art, digital, the physical & their relationship is something that I have explored experientially for a year. It is a good foundation to build on.
I will be setting up creativity coaching in addition to my online psychotherapy. Psychotherapy and Creativity Coaching Online. I will be writing about the role so f the artist and creativity, this blog will be the base!
And I am wondering it I will keep the more personal stuff here including “sketchblog” stuff? Who knows.
