Today, on one of the Howard Dean mailing lists I am on, I received a copy of press release from the FCC in which Commisioner Copps asks, "Is The Internet As We Know It Dying?"
It prompted me to check out current regulations proposed by the FCC. One of the websites I heard about at the AoIR conference is www.regulations.gov.
*I* am a new medium

Over on NetTime, there is a discussion about what exactly 'New Media' really is. As they argue round and round about this, I figured I would make a fun assertion.
I am a new medium.
or, in MOOCode
NewMedia = {@NewMedia, me};
I don't really know what this means, but I think some interesting copyright issues apply. In terms of DNA based media, there are currently three derivative works. They production of these derivative works was permitted by me. No other DNA based derivative works may be produced without my explicit consent. More importantly, my wife would need to consent, and she wishes to reserve the right of any and all future DNA based derivative works.
Technical possibilities in new age
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Fri, 03/01/2002 - 12:39This is a draft of an article that was published in a special edition of the Journal of Group Analytics, March 2002.
Abstract
There is little doubt that the Internet will continue to have an increasing effect on social interaction in the new millennium. Yet the Internet remains widely misunderstood. It is seen by many as merely a new technology of communication. However, it is in point of fact many different types of medium, offering a rich array of enhancements to the forms our communication can take, and about which considerable research has already been done. This research is useful for the Group Analyst in preparing for the technical possibilities of the new millennium. This article will define the uses of the Internet, including the benefits, challenges to overcome and issues involved, then discuss some of the specific applications that can be made from a fuller understanding of group processes on the Internet, with the aim of focusing on the many new opportunities for growth in all aspects of group-analytic psychotherapy.

Fiona Elaine Hynes
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Tue, 10/09/2001 - 11:47“Yesterday, a child came out to wonder” spins off of the CD playing in the boom box in the maternity ward room. Kim is talking on the phone to a friend or relative; “Fiona Elaine was born yesterday morning at 7:52 in morning”. The TV is tuned to CNN but muted: “America strikes back!” “Fearful as the sky was filled with thunder, and tearful at the falling of a star”, Joni Mitchell sings. Kim and I are both tired. It was not an easy labor and there has been little sleep since.
