My blog is supposed to focus on identity but I intend writing about community here. Who makes the rules about what I write – I do. Besides I will end up talking about identity anyway so there’s enough justification – huh ?
Community and online communities – what’s the difference? They are similar in many ways. [...]

Changing Perspectives

My, it’s a while since I’ve been here. Still feeling the writers block associated with knowing that I will self-censor what I write because I don’t have total anonymity here.
This weeks work had me musing on the differences between IRL identity and online identity. Especially interesting was the idea of how online identity may contain [...]

Todays chat meet was different for me to last week. I felt a little jaded today and felt I wanted to stand on the sidelines and watch rather than participate. I was aware of my wanting to be seen in a certain light, as an active, intelligent participant. But I didn’t feel involved. I couldn’t [...]
Random thoughts

Todays group text chat gave me some food for thought. In no particular order :
I noticed that identifying who was making a “post” to the session was difficult as the only cue is their login name. IRL we locate the spatially from the direction their voice comes from, the tone, accent and quality of their [...]

My Focus – Online Identity

Whats it all about ? (Alfie (;-))
Posted in Uncategorized on March 20, 2008 | 1 Comment »
So what is this all about ? Blogging. Why would I want to share my innermost thoughts and feelings with the whole world ? Having been a life long journal writer (though not a regular one) the idea of sharing my private thoughts with anyone have been something I would regard as quite abhorrent. Journals [...]
Fledgling feeling

This LiveJournal is frustrating stuff. Its rare for me to feel frustration with a computer application but I’m finding myself blocked here from doing what I want. Perhaps I should read the manual (is there any?) but I cannot help feel frustrated at the interface here. I want to change the look and feel of [...]
First Blog Entry
Posted in Uncategorized on March 2, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Having meticulously typed my first blog entry I hit some key and it all disappeared ? And me being a mature computer user !
Try again – I’m excited about this. I’m exploring my online presence here and wondering what I might discover about myself from others. Re-adjustment of my Johari window ? Finding out a [...]
