EMDR

Unlike talk therapy, the insights clients gain in EMDR result not so much from clinician interpretation, but from the client’s own accelerated intellectual and emotional processes.  The net effect is that clients conclude EMDR therapy feeling empowered by the very experiences that once debased them.  Their wounds have not just closed, they have transformed. As a natural outcome of the EMDR therapeutic process, the clients’ thoughts, feelings and behavior are all robust indicators of emotional health and resolution—all without speaking in detail or doing homework used in other therapies.

Two Programs for Writing and Executing Code on an iPad

I have recently come across two iPad programs that enable writing and running programs. One is called Codea. It uses Lua as its programing language. The other is Pythonista, which uses Python. Both offer graphics capabilities.

Codea is great for its editor, which enables menu and pop-up widget tools for selecting colors, images and sprites, and sliders and wheel widgets for changing numerical values.

Pythonista is useful for logical programing in Python, math, graphics manipulation, and utility applications that require access to the various services offered by the iOS, such as the file system, the camera, the GEO locator, the accelerometer, etc.

Stephen Fry

One thing I greatly appreciate after reading Stephen Fry's blog is the desirability off essays - well thought out, several 1000 word writings - which Stephen calls "blessays" with a capital b.

Not sure if Stephen coined the phrase, but I've never heard it before (and I did a Google search and his article came up near the very top, so in my mind he gets the credit) in any case he has a number these blessays, that is well thought out and rather long-winded dissertations, and I very much appreciate them.

Microsoft's Misteps (BIG TIME)

Microsoft loses yet another fanboy | TechRepublic

"Companies and consumers have handed over a great deal of money to Microsoft. How are they repaid for their loyalty? A slap in the face and a tug on the wallet. This mess will not end well for Microsoft. It will, on the other hand, end well for the likes of Ubuntu and LibreOffice."
