It is exactly one month since I have been learning and playing chess. It’s been pretty good – at www.itsyourturn.com, where strangers ask me “are you a beginner?” and then offer to talk me through a match! It must be obvious that I’ve been making silly moves.

This is part of MK’s self improvement programme. Stuff I want to know, stuff I want to do, stuff I want to experience.

Hmmm…. A subset of the aforementioned self improvement programme is the self assertion programme. Or is it the other way around? It’s fun when you are trying to discover things about your self.

I’ve gotta node the Johari Window – if only I knew enough html to draw the diagram though… It is about disclosure/feedback model of awareness of one's self.

Think of four panels : OPEN, BLIND, HIDDEN & UNKNOWN; where information about you that is either known to yourself or to others, or both or neither. Yeah, I've gotta to node it - before someone beats me to it!
