Information Immersion

So i spent about 2-3 hours today completly immersed in the recent news of Google's purchase of Pyra Labs. It's an interesting sensation to just allow the information to flow through you for that long. Not trying to process anything, but instead allowing everything to accumulate in my subconcious so that it can be processed later after several days/weeks/months/years of chewing and evaluating.

I think I need to do more work on this. See what happens when different types of music are played (today it was Rush). I think tomorrow I'm going to go for some Asian dance music, that should allow for a more complete immersion. Though, I'm also wondering what effect something that is information dense would do. Perhaps some Boredoms or the Saul Williams CD.

Another though occured to me as I drove home. Am I ramping up again? It's getting close to three years since my dealings with theories on subjective reality resulted in a minor nervous breakdown. Have I been recouping from that experience? Licking my mental wounds, assimulating the knowledge gleaned, and preparing for the next step? Am I entering the next step? This could prove interesting if so. Judging by current interests it would be something that's extremely dense with information. Hmmm...

But, how will such a thing unfold in the new situation? Previously there has been some kind of community (real or virtual) for me to at least spew thoughts, at most to pull me back from going over the edge to fast. The blog provides a perfect place to spew, but what about pulling me back? Perhaps the relative isolation that I've been in since the last time was not the best of circumstances to heal? Oh well, to late to second guess now.
