I’m just taking it easy doing some web surfing and bookmarking stuff in my newly reformatted computer. I noticed something that is a bit bizarre even a bit perplexing and disconcerting perhaps. This computer has been reformatted and a new O/S installed. Still I went to Amazon for the first time on this “new” PC and there it was right on top as it always was “Hello Dennis” ! I suppose that it “knows” me because I am already signed into my gmail and wordpress. Still though seems very odd.

article about the cognitive effects of the internet…
http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200807/google
I just read this article and wanted to make sure I bookmarked it. The article describes the cognitive effects of widespread internet use. The author is not a Luddite; he points out positive as well as negative aspects of the web. He also traces how other changes in the media affected thought processes; such as the introduction of the printing press. I have noticed many of the effects described in my own thought and behavior…

notes…
We decided to lug the dresser up the back stairs this evening rather than waiting; so now we’re finished with that and I shall prowl about the web looking for interesting links…
Living Internet - this site has interesting, obscure, and esoteric info about the internet; to include IRC, usenet, MUD’s and of course the Web.
The Psychology of Cyberspace - Home Page/Table of Contents - This hypertext book explores the psychological aspects of environments created by computers and online networks. It presents an evolving conceptual framework for understanding how people react to and behave within cyberspace: what I call “the psychology of cyberspace” - or simply “cyberpsychology.”

Well, it’s been a long week, albeit a slow week. I’m at work now, but I will try to leave around 12:30 or so ‘casue I’m going on a road trip to visit my Parents & Brothers. Sweetous will stay back because she has to work this weekend, but I think I will take LB with me. I’ve been doing well as far as keeping to my calorie limit but I have fell short on the walking. I’ll have to keep at that and do better. I’m a bit tired today ’cause I was up later than usual; I got back from church last night at 9:00 pm and then stayed up ’til 10:30 which is late for me on a weeknight.
slow at work, so lots of web surfing… (more…)
