Flickr Photo Link

After the intro to Flickr, I was very pleased to find as photos original record covers of my musical devotion, Karheinz Stockhausen. Stockhausen is still alive - about 80 years old now - and is to my appreciation the foremost innovator in realization of electronic music. His work bears a sophistication unmatched. If you have ever wondered about a resonating electronic sound in any avante garde music, you are hearing the reverberation of Karlheinz Stockhausen. Stockhausen as much as said, "Use electricity to MAKE A SOUND" in 1956. Add also the very art itself of highly kinetic stereo imaging - through quad and even octophonic potential. I consider Stockhausen a genius. Here is a hyperlink to a photograph of an original record cover for Gesange der Jünglinge, 1956.

Lifelong Learning AND Success

In partial fulfillment of the requirements for palsplus20_23 Things, I will be forthright in saying that the program 7 1/2 Habits... is certainly true enough but that these strategies and perspectives need to be taught to fifth graders. My life is well along a path that included such thinking years ago. The My Learning Contract schematic is looking useful. It has become for me a time management strategy on a project that extends through the beginning of 2008. Perhaps I will report a real success using this technique come the new year, the process outlined - I hope - bearing some practical results. Overall, I can say that this program does involve me and motivate my efforts for this blog and on my own projects - to my delight. I do add, however, that I am really no longer among those who bewail the institution as per the spin of the presentation.
Long live the corpus scholasticus!
