Sunday, December 26. 2010Tap Dancing in the Night
Tap Dancing in the Night is a "child book" by Martha Kate Downey (published by Phat Art 4), along with other persons, about Asperger Syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Disorder and High Functioning Autism.
It feels quite artisanal, being composed of amateur texts and illustrations and childs' poems and texts and testimonials (témoignages or however you say that in english). Really a beautiful book, not disagreeable to read (I mean, agreeable to read.) Martha Kate Downey isn't a psychiatrist or something like that, just a mother of. You can download it here. It'd be fun to make an aspie read this so you can laugh at him, mock while he's crying! (yeah, that's ironic)

Monday, December 20. 2010Omar K. Moore
I discovered sociologist Omar K. Moore in some article on tomate.poivron.org
Back then, we didn't find a lot on him during a Google-search. It changed ! His ideas on reading-learning matches much more my empiric experiences than Dehaene, which seems not to be a good thing to say. Gonna browse all the Surface Interweb for him!

Friday, December 10. 2010Interesting stuffs, teenage rantings.
Sure I could learn some stuff I don't know if I'd put my hand on a Fashionary.
Wall, Dropbox, is pretty useful : Put your files into your Dropbox folder on one computer, and they'll automatically appear on any of your other computers that also have Dropbox installed (Windows, Mac, and Linux too!). but Spideroak seems better for synco-stuffs. The concept of gaining more webspace by being a referral is a really sexy one. Why haven't by warned such useful stuffs existed? The Core Emotions of the Centers: An Evolutionary Perspective de Dave Hall. Interesting, 'cause if we get Enneagram whole mecanism, the how, the centers, triads, drugs (sorry Claudio Naranjo, just being playful!), that is, well, all the thingamajig we are questioning to ask ourselves why! Jaqueline Girdner use Enneagram to create her characters, by the way. Like, seemingly, the dudes behind Nine, is that the easy way? Some day, tried to talk it with the survism guy; he did a quick search on TheSearchEngine, fell on the frontpage of that website, made his own little idea with the first lines he read, and messed up so bad! 'cause if he did read the FAQ, well, he would have been In The Known, instead of claming the questions. I'm mockingly ranting, sorry. This dude always seemed a bit pretentious. (like me, but in a more boring kind) Seems they always send pretentious dudes to do psychology studying stuffs. Unjockingly, I got one that said Fritz Perls was a sect guru 'cause he didn't studied him in classes, hey! after all, *he knows it* he's in his first year of undergraduating! Being at home, easy, superior; you've got a second who begin jawing psychology, big fat ageist, who think of you as an idiot and act surprised when you play some joke on Gustave Le Bon. They are are, and it's like they were saying: hey, knowledge is Our Elit secrecy, you! you're just a kid who think he/she's interested in psychology because she/he read Freud's Metapsychologie^WIntroduction to Psychoanalysis, but were you an insider you'd see it's too difficult for you, so I'd implore you not to try 'cause to be a psychologist you'd need to be more sociable, see, like a walking talking laxative, like overwhelming, like you don't need theory to be more objective despite the high-subjectivitude of this field so that we could thing being emotionally overwhelmed would not be the best idea to get your patient. That's the way! They tell you something like that or similar, everytime, on every subject. (preferably when you think you'll do it, that time, talking normally to someone) Depressing. At the very end, you don't ever try to try, 'cause it's already difficult for you, you know, talking skills.

Thursday, December 9. 2010Land of Lisp
Land of Lisp is too funny.
More computer or whatever book should be like that! And Lisp is great from an historical point of view. « The beings here used to be our friends, but we lost contact with them over the years. » What I said. Did you know I wanted to be an archeologist when I'm older?

Un bon remontant : Printemps au Parking de Christiane Rochefort
Un de mes livres préférés est Printemps au Parking de Christiane Rochefort.
Ce n'est pas vraiment un livre sérieux, mais il parle de sujets habituellement considérés comme sérieux en les considérant, pas forcément par habitude, comme sérieux. Il salope toutes sortes de règles que les écrivains se fixent habituellement, ce qui est commun quand on y pense, mais si quelqu'un les salopait par écrit tout en écrivant un truc sur des trucs sérieux pas sérieux on lui cognerait dessus et ce n'est pas de l'Oulipo ou quoi-donc. Ça vient du fait que le récit suit le flux RSS de la pensée du personnage principal. Je me souviens plus du nom du personnage principal ; je crois qu'il n'en avait pas. Ça devait être pour faire plus proche du lecteur et pas donner l'idée immédiate d'un parti-pris pour une classe ou l'autre, puisque c'est avec le personnage principal qu'on s'identifie, et même s'il s'appelait Jean-Michel de Pétrassier il serait tout-de-même de la classe populaire, mais ça sonnerait bourge et on serait capable d'en tirer des conclusions aussi bêtes que celle-là. Donc c'est un gus de classe pro-laiteuse qui a une bonne petite gueule. Il a fini ses études, ou les a arrêtées, bref. Il reste dans sa piaule en faisant cherchant de chercher du boulot, un genre de boulot barbant, comme je devrais le faire si moi j'étais pas en train de faire semblant de travailler pour passer un bac en candidat libre et réussir à choisir des études maintenant que je recommence à m'intéresser à quelques trucs. Comme tout un chacun, il doit dîner avec ses parents et ce soir-là comme tous les soirs c'est avec la télé. La télé est en panne. Éteinte, rien dessus, rien qui s'affiche. Le parent, le paternel, le daron est planté devant la télé qui est plantée derrière le gosse et le parent daron n'est pas content de ça, lui il veut voir sa télé, alors il dit au gus de dégager grosso-modo et le gus dégage. Il sort de chez lui, comme ça, sans rien emporter que ses pieds. Se rendant compte que ça ferait couard de revenir comme ça, il décide de se barrer tout en remarquant des trucs comme on se les fait remarquer quelques fois. Il baise un bout et se barre. Il se barre vers les beaux quartiers et c'est là que ça devient intéressant parce que c'est très différent que d'ailleurs et même les gens qu'il rencontre. Ils l'hébergent et il devient pédé ; mais y a une espèce de transition entre ça et ça, ça devient pas pédé comme ça, tout se passe graduellement, ce qui n'est pas mon point car mon point c'est que le livre est intéressant car même maintenant. Je trouve que ça n'a pas vieilli, j'étais pas là quand c'est sorti et peut-être qu'on pensait que c'était avant-garde et donc ça a quand même vieilli mais j'en doute, moi je le lis maintenant et avant et après et je m'identifie-rai toujours. C'est fou. On dirait vraiment pas que ça a été écrit par une journaliste. C'est la preuve qu'elle a réussi à me faire avaler son image de la réalité, vous me direz, mais c'est juste une photo de la mienne. Thursday, December 2. 2010Claudette Colvin
Lot of stuffs they wrote about her on 1rst december, strangely the birthday of Rosa Parks' acts.
That's great, but Claudette Colvin could have her own : she had way more gut ! Some way, Rosa Parks may not have done that, hadn't she known of Colvin's acts. Somehow, her merits are overrated; I still understand that, you know, for the movement image and presentation, they would not use a little more Colvin' at the moment, but now? When the bus driver told Rosa Parks that he would have to call the police if she didn’t get up, Parks replied, with extraordinary self-possession, “You may do that.” When the police arrived, she went without resistance. When the cops came for Claudette Colvin, she yelled at them that they were violating her rights, and refused to move. They dragged her from the bus. When they kicked her, she kicked them back. Student Activism Interesting as well: Claudette Colvin: Known at Last
