The Digital Connection

I have no doubt behaviour patterns change. The article makes sense. But I don’t like the way people talk about humans. As if we are just a bunch of neurones. It may be true, but music is just vibrations, so are paintings, lightwaves on the retina. That is not human talk.

So a more disturbing phenomena is that people are seen as computers by psychologists.

An interesting article follows none the less about the use of cell phones by kids, and the effect of the net on our concentration.

I am delighted to have discovered Rory Remer’s site. A Psychodramatist, TEP. Now more focussed on Chaos theory and how it leads to other psychotherapeutic modalities.

Of particular interest are these papers:

An Introduction to Chaos Theory for Psychodramatists

The interesting thing is that here, for the first time I have seen someone make the same point I have in my Psychodrama Thesis and in my Moreno & Scientific Method paper. The fractal nature of the systems.

Blinded By The Light
A critique of “evidence based” practice.

Gender Issues
Has a link to a good article “Did I Hear You? What Are You Really Saying?” (not by him but Denise Twohey and Antoinette L. James University of North Dakota)

And an interesting couple of pages on supervision.

I want to read more some of this carefully!

I loved this movie! Tight, funny, great acting, casting and writing & directing by Gregor Jordan is amazing! A n Australian “Smoking Barrels”, but better. Looking to see more from Jordan.

This Blog Works on the iPhone again

I had a plugin that rendered this blog blank on the iphone. Switched to

WordPress PDA & iPhone 1.2.8

This plugin helps the users to view your blog in a pda and iPhone browser. By Imthiaz Rafiq.

& it works well.

The iPhone works OK with the WordPress default theme – no plugin – as well, but with this is marginally more usable.

Later:
Not so fast! The link directly to a post on Twitter leads to a poor rendition. You have to go directly to https://psyberspace.walterlogeman.com for the plugin to take effect!

There must be a better way!

iPhone Copy & Paste

If this is true it will make a big difference to my use of the phone.

  • Posting to blogs from iPhone
  • tweeting
  • Writing notes on tasks
  • Entering passwords, email address etc
  • I managed without, but only because many things work so well.

Last night I attended the Live Diggnation event in Austin, Texas at SXSW, where Kevin Rose confirmed through his sources that iPhone 3.0 would have Copy and Paste.

He said it worked like this… you would press and hold a word and a Magnifier type bubble would appear with quotes around the word. Move the quotes around what you want selected and then you can press Copy.

Movie: Starting Out in the Evening ***

Watched this on DVD. It was ok. I did not really like any of the characters, that is a problem. This reviwer on IMDB makes a good point though.

I was not watching a movie, so much as seeing the writing process examined, explored, and enacted on the screen. The director doesn’t mind taking his time to allow events to develop and unfold, and he takes us along with him.

From the GTDSummit

I have the been scanning twitter with the #gtdsummit hashtag & it is interesting. MindManager people link to this summary, which is the on the topic I have been blogging about, but it looks best in MindManager!

Interesting how each time I see this list it is slightly different. Each new take makes more difference than it would seem. Clarify is different to process. I now call it Clarify/process/review, though as I move on I might refine that.

This map also shows the Focus area in the Making it all Work book as Responsibility.

I have a tag for AOR and AOI areas of Responsibility and Areas of Interest. I use the Focus device in Appigo To Do to show me just those Projects I want on my current list, reviewed anytime but at least weekly.
