I have finally selected a theory to use in my self-analysis paper for my Theories of Personality course. I have decided to go with Erik Erikson’s “Crisis” theory. The theory has phases that related to Freud’s psychosexual phases, but are more psychosocial phases. The phases are dependant upon a “central crisis” that must be completed, […]
As I mentioned in a previous post, there are things that do not get mentioned here, they are considered too “private” to share here, but yet I share them with people I know even less about than the primary target audience of this blog. I do not know a lot of people that do not […]
As of this moment there are 1006 blog posts residing on my blog engine (Moveable Type) that I have written. I have made a total of 6 cross-posted posts in my blogging history, so this brings me to my present total of 1000 unique blog posts. Over 850 of those posts belong to this blog. […]
Dr. Abraham Maslow’s key to human personality theory is a hierarchy of needs. Unfortunately, I find this key to be flawed and unlocks no information or understanding to the human personality. Upon first glance I recognized that the hierarchy did not really seem to need to be followed in order, but initially I blindly accepted […]
I discovered today an additional reason why Facebook sucks. The notes function only polls my blog for new entries about once every three days, highly ineffective for my friends to keep up with me. Google polls my blog about once every 2 hours, which on some days can still be a little slow, but in […]

This theory also supports that people in […]
GITI comes across as a very timid web app. It doesn’t even attempt to be Web 2.0 at all, aside from a little CSS, but things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. There are many functions and tools hidden in GITI that have hardly ever made it to a menu. I […]
There is something quite pleasing about oiling and dressing an old pair of boots. I have an old pair of CAT work boots that I have hidden away in a closet for way too long. They were in pretty bad shape when I pulled them out earlier. Some spots were dark brown (almost black) and […]
A few weeks ago I mentioned Doom Builder as a WAD editing utility for Doom maps, but after much unsuccessful attempting to work on WADs, both creating my own maps and editing existing maps, as well as crashing of the utility, I went back diving for a new tool. I came up with Wad Author, […]
Got an e-mail back from my Computer Programming advisor, quite unexpectedly (since it is Sunday evening). Apparently she felt my inquiry was quite important. Now I am worried though, she forwarded my questions to the chair of the department, who is also presently my C# instructor. I am a little uncomfortable with the questions going […]
