A chat with AKMA about self-esteem

A chat with AKMA about self-esteem 02/01/2005 09:19 PM

A few weeks ago, there was an article in Scientific American "debunking" the myth of self-esteem. I've never been to therapy in the US so I don't have first hand experience, but my good friend John Vasconcellos is one of the founders of the movement and my impressions about the movement from him were that it was important and useful. John told me that he thought the definition that they used in the article was different from the one he was using. He said he would get back to me on his thoughts on the article. I found a thread on MetaFilter about this article so I participated in a discussion there. I was still having trouble thinking through the issue, so I turned to one of my favorite moral guides, Reverend AKMA. I decided to record the call and post it here in case anyone is interested in our chat. (37 min 33 MB mp3)

I think the net-net is that overvaluing or undervaluing yourself is bad. Ways to help people swung too far in either direction are good. The US probably suffers differently, than say Japan, because I think more people in Japan get self-esteem from craft or professionalism compared to the US where I believe self-esteem is more highly linked to money. Creating enclaves of people or communities to help people feel happy about their success measured by different parameters is a good thing and something the Net might be good for.

AKMA’s Random Thoughts

What Then Of Boasting?

Pippa continues making wonderful images with paint and pen and keyboard (Margaret and I cherish her email messages). At F2C, Dave isenberg brought out a t-shirt he'd been given by his print shop; it read in big letters, "God Bless America," with an American flag imprint. He reckoned that the clergy delegate was the right conferee to get the shirt, so he threw it out to me. (This story does get back to how proud I am of Pippa.) I sat with the shirt displayed beside me through Thursday's program, and brought it home, uncertain of what should become of it. When I explained the situation to the family, Pippa quickly pointed out some of the theo-political problems with the shirt; her first reaction was that it should be a prayer, but that instead it reads as a command. But she volunteered to take it, perhaps to wear inside-out or use for her painting shirt. Fifteen minutes later she came back. . . .

I'm so proud of them, it makes my heart pound. What, as Dick Leonard says, did I do to deserve this? [Don't worry; you probably don't know Dick. But he always used to say that when he lived with us, so the family always quotes him.]

Reverend AKMA on the cave of John the
Baptist 08/19/2004 02:21 PM

Reverend AKMA has an interesting post on the front-page story claim that someone has discovered the cave of John the Baptist and why he isn't into archaeology anymore.

AKMA

This story reflects several problematic tendencies in the popular (biblical) archaeological market. We get their textual siblings over in literary historiography, so I’m not casting stones only at the other interpreters. But there have been heaps of hermits (I just spent way too much time trying to devise a collective noun for anchorites) in the Judean wilderness about whom we know absolutely nothing. We happen to know a little about one of them: John. So when an archaeologist finds a hermit’s cave that fits what we might expect John’s cave to have looked like, someone draws the inference that it actually was John’s cave.

Go AKMA! The image of heaps of hermits reminds me a bit of Life of Brian. ;-) Comment - TrackBack

Reverend AKMA almost arrested for

OK He wasn't almost arrested, but he was told that he couldn't be use computer within range of the open wifi network of the public library by a policeman. The officer cites some law against it and describes all of the terrible things Reverend AKMA could be doing. When AKMA asks whether this was a state or federal law, the officer says, "It’s a federal law, sir; a Secret Service agent came and explained it to us.”

Anyway, it's worth reading his entire post. What law is this officer referring to and how can we undo damage that misinformed (if there is no such law) Secret Service agents are causing? If it were me or some other less pious person, I'm sure the policeman might not have been as nice.

Happy B-Day Gary!

Happy B-Day Gary! 08/07/2004 07:21 PM

I didn't find out about Gary Turner's b-day through Ryze, some classmates knock-off or even an email. I found out about it through RSS, which (I assume) he posted initially at Flickr and which then ricocheted into his blog.

So first of all - congrats to Gary (hopefully I'll get to meet him Sept. 13th), and congrats to Stewart and the team at Ludicorp for evolving Flickr into what it is today.

At first glance I thought of Flickr a predominanly an IM your photo kind of RIA. But it's much more than that.

The Calendaring, the PhotoRSS, the Fotonotes, a more coming - I'm sure.

Gary Houk on Amazoogle

Gary Houk on Amazoogle 06/17/2005 07:16 PM

I’m in Dublin, Ohio, at the TechConnections conference to give three presentations tomorrow (blogs, RSS, and social bookmark managers), but I arrived just in time today to hear Gary Houk present on the topic of “Connecting Users to Library Services in an Amazoogle World: Trends in Information Discovery and Delivery.” Here are my blognotes:

“10 things Google has found to be true”
5. You don’t need to be at your desk to need an answer.

The Amazoogle user environment:

• For many, it’s the first and last resort of research
• Available at the point of need
• Comprehensive?
• How does it compare to libraries?

netLibrary is waiting for Apple to add DRM to the iPod so that their ebooks will work on it

“Digital Natives” = Millennials
— Online gaming (compete, collaborate, create)

OCLC’s response is Open WorldCat (OW)

• Functionality is changing almost weekly
• Search engines called OCLC (?)
• “Connect library users to library services on the open web through syndication… at the point of need….”
• No money is changing hands between OCLC and the search engines
• 9 million searches from these sites (although not all were click-throughs to library sites; that number is in the hundreds of thousands)

Have started to display the FRBR algorithm in Open WorldCat! Will deploy FRBR throughout OCLC services later this year

OCLC now has a Google toolbar?

Experimenting with Google Maps to display the libraries with holdings in Open WorldCat

On the “landing page” for a specific title from Yahoo or Google to OW, you’ll see a display in the upper right-hand corner of the databases to which the library subscribes

Issue of mobile devices – OCLC hasn’t done a lot in this area yet, but they plan to do more

Gary wants an icon on your device for the “global library channel”

Mentioned Google’s SMS functionality - should work for libraries, too!

OCLC’s focus for moving forward:

• Expand WorldCat to better represent library collections, particularly international
• Improve discovery by broadening partner base and enhancing the service
• Improve fulfillment through registries, authentication and new methods of service (e.g., the ejournal space)
• Make the data we have work harder

One of their key objectives for the next fiscal year is to help libraries manage their electronic collections as well as they’ve helped libraries manage their physical collections in the past.

Showed FictionFinder in the research section of the OCLC web site

• Showed a search for Ohio Amish mysteries that uses FRBR
• Stars aren’t ratings – they’re how many “manifestations” there are of the title; shows number of library holdings in parentheses

Top sets for fiction records are classics

• 1,296 for defoe, daniel
• 1,267 carroll, lewis
• 971 cervantes

When click on one, get navigation options by publisher, language, date, type

Wiki in WorldCat

• Want to capture user input in structured ways; will be a pilot test this summer
• User will be able to enter comments, recommendations, reviews, etc.
• Side note: this is exactly what I noted they could do at NEASIST in May!

Highlighted Google Scholar, which OW is part of

Highlighted Google Print, which OW is part of; metadata is available from OCLC; feel they are keeping libraries at the forefront of this

The implications of Google Libraries:

• Potentially covers about one third of print books in WorldCat
• 60% of total Google 5 (the 5 beta libraries) books held by only one of the G5
• Less than 5% held by all of the G5
• 20% of total G5 print books out of copyright
• There’s a paper coming out of their research

“Last Copy”

• 23 million WorldCat records have only a single holding attached

Data-mining study of Vanderbilt holdings in WC:

• Identified 23,000 items held uniquely by Vanderbilt
• 60% are print books
• 60% produced prior to 1950

OCLC/Ithaca collaboration:

• 32 million print books, representing 26 million distinct works
• Only about 120,000 works had both print and ebook manifestations
• Half of print books published after 1977, more than 80% still “in copyright”
• Rareness is common! Only a third of print books have more than 5 holdings, half have 2 or less
• This kind of intelligence helps establish digitization priorities and inform preservation planning

Need to factor in the habits of these “digital natives” when you’re planning your services and the delivery of them

If you’re spending a lot of money on your portal, is that the best use of your money? Most likely your users aren’t starting at your portal.

These companies are using metadata to connect people looking for stuff with people who need stuff – they’re innovators.

I asked when we’ll get RSS out of Open WorldCat – Gary wasn’t sure; “it’s a technology that OCLC is definitely looking at”

The finest journalist ever to get fired for telling the truth is dead at age 49. The official cause of death on the death certificate will be suicide. But, as we shall see, he had much help getting to that point. The story of the life and death of Gary Webb says much about the state of American politics and what passes as "journalism" in today's America.
