Oh man! Reeling from this news!
I was lucky to have Dave as my degree project supervisor, and enjoyed so many chats with him subsequently. His lectures on Bernstein and Gibson got me into the science I still do today. His gleeful curiosity about a prismatic range of topics was so infectious.
RIP

David Lee just died.
He formulated tau/time-to-contact, the most famous bit of ecological information.
He is one of the main reasons why ecological psychology is still alive.
We all are indebted to him. I met him once and ended up having dinner at his place. Very cool guy!

RIP Brian Wilson. For all his faults and troubles, he gifted the world an immeasurable treasure chest of harmonious gems. I am grateful to continue enjoying a life soundtracked by these jewels, especially during my formative teens. How deep is the ocean? youtu.be/X76ejh4EIV4?...

but if i'm not allowed to feed artists into my artist killing machine it's going to be basically impossible for the machine to keep killing artists. is that what you want?? and before you answer keep in mind this is a very expensive machine

Well spotted Andrew! 😀
This paper describes our first stab at using principles of motor abundance as the basis for designing augmented feedback (movement sonification) for skill learning
Any comments/suggestions, particulalry about where to go next with this approach, are very welcome!

This is a new preprint by me, where I have written down my affordance based approach to UCM and similar methods for the first time in one place. Feedback very much appreciated!

Tired of calls for unlocking AI's full potential. Time to unlock the full potential of investing in public health and public education so nurses and teachers are no longer underpaid and overworked.

Brian Eno's "Ambient 1" only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it went on to start an airport.

Great presentation by @adw.bsky.social today on movement, skill, synergies, affordances and the uncontrolled manifold! Excellent to hear about his work and current thinking on these topics!

Looking forward to this!!
Off to Belfast this morning to visit with @dampystudios.bsky.social and give a talk about how affordances constrain the uncontrolled manifold

Just arrived on Blue Sky, and at first glance it really reminds me of the good old days at the other place. Looking forward to the info and chats to come, but in the meantime, I'll recommend the recent @cravenfaults.bsky.social LP as a mesmerising escape from a hard day
