I'VE JUST INVENTED THE BLOBBOGRAPH

This is a new form of graphic communication, (or most probably it isn't), but these two examples of this sort of mutant Venn diagram show some of the differences between the roles in my life before I retired two years ago , and after.

BEFORE


AFTER


So it seems that there could be an analogy between the impact of retirement on my life and that of the internet and its associated technological innovations on the print media. Whereas as one element used to predominate now various differing ones compete and overlap in confusing way and believe me, I wish I knew how to monetise it!

I am wrestling with sound all the various instructions make including audio seem easy, it ain't.

Busyish day in bbkbar then to class on possible 'democratisation' via new internet associated media. Some things ring a bell eg when I was at a recent demo in Parliament Square (see http://gptublog.blogspot.com/ entry for 21/03/08 'Anti War march London 15/3/2008' ), the police tried to move back a couple of protestors behind a barrier, Brian Haw, who has been camping out in the Square as a protest against the Iraq war jumped out with a video camera to film them. I wonder if he would call this "Political disintermediation"?
