I find that disproportionate outbursts of anger via blogging have a very cathertic effect and make me far less likely to suffer from angry outbursts in my actual life

reflecting on # 2 ….

I know this older gentleman that teaches Internet technologies….. boy ‘ole boy …. he loves to talk gadgets. Me and the other techs know if we see him in the hall to be prepared for the latest and greatest gadgets he found over the weekend! It can be hilarious especially when you do not have time to stop and chat for an hour.

like ur blog… try not to stay angry .. it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth after time.

You happened to respond while I was sitting at the PC. I’m just uploading a video to YouTube that I will be putting here a little later – it’s a montage of my first 100 videos and it’s taken me forever to do. It’s only 9pm here, what’s your excuse for being up at 4am? I haven’t watched that movie but I’ve seen it on the shelf at the video store. I always notice things with “anger” or “angry” in the title these days.

Ha ha – and man dude you responded quick. It’s like 4AM here in Vancouver Canada and just checked, it is in the evening in Australia.

Have you ever seen the movie – The Upside of Anger – ?

That’s awesome feedback jessica. I think you’ve hit on something important, I talked about why focussing on technology instead of results is bad. You gace a great illustration – someone told you RSS and CSS were good but you had no idea why. But blogging is important to you and wordpress utilises Cascading Style Sheets for presentation and Really Simple Syndication for content sharing so now you can see the value.

And I’m glad that you’re past you 365 angry days!

If there are many others like me out there, we are having trouble understanind a new language simply because of lack of visuals both in the written and picture and/or symbol form.

I don’t understand the benefit of RSS simply because I visually cannot see it. I read the benefits. I undertsnd the benefits but yet it just seems like something difficult to implement. RSS might do well if the industry could descibe in it metaphor to the general public.

I find this comparable with CSS. I know it is better. I read that it is better. And now I know why simply through the use of wordpress and blogging. BUT I am only a novice coder.

I learned about blogging more rapidly than any other technology ever.

If RSS were akin to blogging as CSS were akin to blogging then many of us could begin to play with it.

Mr. Angry this post just got me thinking. Not everyone undertsands in the same way when something new is introduced about or on anything. People could simply be forgetting that we all have senses and therefore are inteligent. IT could adapt it’s words into visuals by working freely with designers. And designers could work freely with IT personal. This could be extended to:

For every Programmer there is a writer, a designer, an illustrator a panter, a chemist, a scientist, a poet, a dancer, a physicist… ad infinitum

Take away the fear mongering money laundering and just plain distrust and all artistic interpretation could work together.

Ahhh… i love dreaming and actually writing it out because I feel good. The issues you have raised are very apparent in the existing corporate graphic design market also. I am a blogger who has faith in that what I am doing is what I am doing.

Mr. Angry, my angry 365 days happened over most of last year. Innovation begins the moment we choose an ending.

Rooster: I agree, I might place this as a sub-category of arrogance. IT folk are often to arrogant to see the need to make things accessible.

Maliha: That’s unusually cyncial for you

Victoria: I was asleep when you posted that (other side of the world) – be patient

thenewg: I’ve never managed to get into RSS either!

wildgift: I’ll take your word on the iPod, I don’t remember a level of hype that, in retrospect, they could have justified. And yes, the coding decisions that led to Y2K wasn’t a terrible evil but I do think it’s an example of the tendency to only think in the moment.

quranbible: damn right! The stifling of innovation in the name of vested interests. The number one problem for my money.
