Can You See the Real Me?

Can you see the real me ? Can ya? can ya?

The Who

had a hit with this song many years ago It was a monster and underscores the propensity for the ego to be confused yet needing to be recognized and accepted. The ego always tries to manipulate its surroundings and others to get to a place where eventually, it isn't happy anyway.

One Thing to Ponder

If you are criticizing someone or wishing them failure, you are digging a pit for them. You may as well recognize that you are digging one for yourself. Just the suction of the negativity will cause you to fall into your own pit. Operate in love and all works out. Operate in fear and nothing works out. True dat.

Wanted to pass along that there is a new Psiplex artwork piece published in Platform 58 for April '09. The piece is titled "

Shoutouts

Earwax Records on Twitter

One of Atlanta's foundational record stores, promotional vehicles and all around good guys

Earwax Records

was damn close to being all things to all people. The inimitable Mr. Woo, a founding father there is a true gentleman, entrepreneur and a reservoir of dynamism. Like a digital chameleon, Chuck is ever evolving and has had a big impact on how I came to understand how Atlanta's music industry and the interwebz work. Earwax Records brought a lot of previously unknown artists to the national forefront. I only hope the good folks there at EW could be compensated fro their promotional efforts by some of the artists who are now headliners. They certainly deserve it. For now, check out the

Earwax MySpace

page to get the latest news. Rock on EARWAX! Big respect, light and love!

Creative Writing, the Phrase Series

Psiplex has

ISSUU

s! Well, three new pieces of creative writing on

issuu.com

to be precise :-) Clicking the image will take you to the page.

Additionally, the Psiplex LifeSeries presentations that I create for the

Psiplex YouTube channel

are converted for ISSUU 'books' also. In the upload stage, there is an option to choose for adding audio which is nice. In preparing the iWork Keynote files for YouTube, I just export a PDF version to be used for the Psiplex

Psibase ISSUE page

It makes for a tidy production flow and keeps all the fun intact by focusing on content rather than hoops to jump through.

Over the course of the last month or so, it has been a lot of fun to share with you some observations on life in the form of photos, prose and poetry. The Phrase series is an assemled ongoing collection of these observations that I hope you enjoy. The cool thing about using ISSUU is that the PDF files created can be uploaded and shared to view, print locally, embed in web pages and download. It looks like you are flipping through a book with a lot of options to zoom in, zoom out on images or text and to scroll through pages in an intuitive manner.

As for adding audio to your ISSUU document, you just have to have an audio clip, like an MP3 file on a server with the absolute URL ready to go. During upload, expand the media tab or go to my library, select one of your documents, and press edit. Expand the media tab and enter a url for the a playlist (m3u) or a single mp3. Press 'test' to verify and the save. You can see an example of a poem I created called '

Dribbling'

with an MP3 instrumental added, just look for the little speaker icon to turn it on and off. This is useful if you want to add your voice to a document that better explains your content. You can also add video to documents in a similar manner.

Hope you get a chance to see what ISSUU can do for your projects, share your experiences here and make some comments. I am more than happy to share with you how I created these documents, exported as PDF files and uploaded and tagged the series. ISSUU has made it all very simple and quick.

There is a video on ISSUU that explains how to

publish your works

and share your content with the world

Make some use of it and have fun!
