Almost all of us have been to the doctor at some point or the other in our lives. One of the common things you would have noted in your meetings with your doctor is him scribbling down notes. But, have you wondered what he writes in such notes? Do you think you should be allowed to see those notes? And, are you prepared to see what your doctor might have written about your meeting and your physiological and psychological conditions?
User Generated WarsBut no one should ever neglect the psychological, cultural, political, and human dimensions of warfare. War is inevitably tragic, inefficient, and uncertain, and it is important to be skeptical of systems analyses, computer models, game theories, or doctrines that suggest otherwise. We should look askance at idealistic, triumphalist, or ethnocentric notions of future conflict that aspire to transcend the immutable principles and ugly realities of war, that imagine it is possible to cow, shock, or awe an enemy into submission, instead of tracking enemies down hilltop by hilltop, house by house, block by bloody block. As General William Tecumseh Sherman said, "Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster."
On August 7th 1974, a young Frenchman named Philippe Petit stepped out on a wire illegally rigged between New York's twin towers, then the world's tallest buildings.

A Yemeni man never charged by the U.S. details 19 months of brutality and psychological torture -- the first in-depth, first-person account from inside the secret U.S. prisons.
Amy asked for better products for diabetics, but we recognized that those products had to add up to an experience that would satisfy their emotional and psychological needs. So we set out to develop an experience design concept that addressed user behavior and psychology as well as current technological trends to project how insulin pumps and glucose meters might work five years from now.
5B4 is a blog about photo books. I love (and collect) photo books. Everybody loves Alec Soth's blog, for obvious reasons. It's simply great. Exposure is a new blog by Aperture, which has had a very promising start. BLDGBLOG is not a photo blog (it's mostly about architecture), but it so intelligently written that every other post I wonder how amateurish my writing might look in comparison. BPS Research Digest, a blog summarizing psychological research, typically makes me channel Mr Spock ("Fascinating!"). For me, Brian Ulrich's blog is right up there with Alec's blog, with a slightly different focus and style. Ed Winkleman's blog is the only art blog that I read regularly (even though I scan a few others). His is most engaging (but hey! what do I know about art?) Exposure Compensation is a great photo blog. gmtPlus9 (-15) requires advanced calculus to determine the actual time zone, but will keep you entertained until you manage to figure it out. i heart photograph features a lot of good photography, with preferences a bit different from mine. Great blog! Modern Art Obsession delivers art/photography with a bit of attitude nicely. The actual Mrs. Deane behind Mrs. Deane is a good friend, and her blog I cannot praise enough. muse-ings always contains "intelligent" (M. Parr) and interesting discussions of photo issues and photographer's work, with the ruffling of the feathers being a regular feature. Another must read, just like (Notes on) Politics, Theory & Photography, which, however, is a bit more on the politics and - often - theory side. Shane Lavalette's blog is another great photo blog, as is The Sonic Blog, the only German blog in this list. VVORK shows you an ecclectic set of art with few words (just the way I like my art). For those who want to read Frank Rich's columns without having to buy the waste of paper called the Sunday New York Times, there's Welcome to Pottersville (the magazine is online and quite overrated actually).

Twitter scares me. For all its popularity, I see at least three issues: 1) it's a near-perfect example of the psychological principle of intermittent variable reward, the key addictive element of slot machines.

When people hear the term “midlife crisis” they usually think of fat middle aged men who try to recapture their youth through new sports cars and young women… but of late, midlife psychological chaos is starting to affect women as well.
Nature versus nurture is a shorthand expression for debates about the relative importance of an individual's innate qualities ("nature") versus personal experiences ("nurture") in determining or causing individual differences in physical and behavioral traits.

Violent media has existed as long as human history and the debate over how or when to control it is as hotly contested as ever. With the trend towards greater realism and graphic content that began in the 90's, videogames have found themselves the focal point du jour. But how much of an impact have these violent videogames had? We'll take a look at the psychological, political, and economic issues surrounding violent videogames and try to make sense of it all. No matter which side of the fence you sit on this argument, it is important to know the facts.
