“Internet Ads:

• Slow down web surfing
• Distract you with screen clutter
• Endanger your online Privacy”

And they are ugly. Is this a sacred place? At least it needs to be aesthetic! Several years ago I bought this program after having it on a month free trial. I’ve used it ever since. I am often shocked when I look at other people as they surf. It is so distracting and ugly. A one off fee fixes it. OK it might sound like an ad as I write, but it is a plea for aesthetics and I have no financial interest in the product at all. There may be others as good, but this one has workrd without a glitch.

More on Psyche and Libraries

Been thinking about what I wrote about Amazon being Alexandria. It is not quite right, the whole Net is the new Alexandria. And I doubt the future is corporate. XML plus peer-to-peer sharing means literature and texts of all kinds will be “free” like music is now. However *right now*, and that is all there is, there is nothing like Amazon, and it may be like that for a while yet.

Memory is something of a seat of the soul, and computer memory is in the same class. All of our written words our *written traditions* are what the Maori call whakapapa. Our ancestors and their stories have a spititual quality – in a library these spirits are all around us – the library is a sacred place.

Online Therapy Articles

These articles are all related to online therapy. Considered a rapidly growing field, online therapy has been subject to controversy. While some professionals argue that the face-to-face therapy relationship cannot be duplicated online and worry about ethical standards, others argue that the Internet offers new ways of reaching people.

How is it looking?

I’ve been working on getting this weblog to look right, for me at least. I think it is getting there. It is nice to use.

Have just added the “Spyonit” above. You can tell it to look for some particular prase, or let it notify you anytime there is a change – by email – or WAP or pager etc.

Let me know what you think.
