Flames of inspiration often leave smoke signals behind.From mine, these.
| Read | Universal Basic Literacy. How? Read IPA First. Let the International Phonetic Alphabet bring basic phonetic literacy to individuals and whole languages. Self-study method and material, offering access to basic literacy on one sheet of paper. The innovation?: Line drawings not Latin vocabulary can label phonetic charts; then even illiterate learners can identify the sound for each symbol, thus overcoming the one insurmountable obstacle in acquiring literacy: the arbitrary conventional mapping from symbol to sound. |
| Postural Anesthesia | My posture trick, which is anesthetic against post-surgical pain. Learn it, try it. An old man once told me, I'm going to use that on my death bed. |
| On Suffering | How we torture ourselves, and how we don't have to. |
| Notes from a Forehead on the Ground | After a week, a Friday night program, after the chanting, after the meditation, after darshan, comes a contemplation of oneness. A subset of Darshan Notes, selected for accessibility. Click "Choose One For Me Now". |
| Celebrating the Millenium | Hear hear, let's have another! |
| Auditory User Interfaces | AUI is to GUI as ears are to eyes. In 27 years, little progress. This aspect of the Metaverse was conceived in 1995: a vision of how computers can improve our auditory environments, to benefit not just the blind but everyone with ears. Because the auditory channel carries more than just meaningless or musical background; it can be information-bearing as to place and source and content, so we could, should, enable our software to interact with us intelligently using those informational channels. Why not? Conceptual introduction, design specifications, killer applications, etc. |
