A Slightly New Direction…

So far in my blog posts, I have either given you a tedious amount of background on me or went into relatively heavy theoretical stuff that I state as fact and don’t site references for (see The Components of Thought, The Origin of Thought, and Thought and the Environment as examples).

I think, moving forward I’m going to try to write more concrete posts that are more relevant to more people. I’m not saying I won’t dabble in the theoretical. I’ll just do less of it, and will better tie it to concrete applications.

My interest in computers is based primarly on interactions, such as the following:

People interacting with themselves.
People interacting with other people.
People interacting in communities.
People interacting with software.
Software interacting with other software.
And, lastly, people interacting with other people through software.

I think I got them all. Anyway, the point is that there are lots of applications, particularly in the Web 2.0 community that are all about the above interactions. Also, there are a lot of interesting ideas in both the design world and the software development world as well. So, from now on I will try to hit these.

Eventually, I would also like to contribute software. As I explore the landscape, I’ll better be able to formulate my ideas.

I think my next post will be about Twitter, as I’ve become a bit of an addict as of late. My twitter id is @purecognition. Give me a follow, if you like.

If you have been reading my blog, I thank you for your patience as I find my voice. If you have an ideas for things I should look into, based on my previous posts, please feel free to comment.

Sometimes once in awhile a blog needs new definition and purpose, it’s easy to get sidetracked by all of the different things going on! I have so many different interests I like to blog about I ended up starting 8 different blogs just to keep up!

Nothing wrong with people and technology. I think that is what the internet is all about. With so many social networking sites like Twitter opening up, there is bound to be even more interest generated in this field as we move forward.
