Snow Leopard Upgrade – Smaller Footprint

Finally managed to get hold of TNT and installed Snow Leopard Upgrade yesterday night. Decided to take a screenshot of the actual amount of space I actually end up saving after installing the Snow Leopard upgrade… so below is the ‘before’ picture.

Blink by Malcolm Gladwell – Thin Slicing

Read this book called Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell recently

he talks about something developed by John M. Gottman, PhD.

“He’s gotten so good at thin-slicing marriages that he says he can be in a restaurant and eavesdrop on the couple one table over and get a pretty good sense of whether they need to start thinking about hiring lawyers and dividing up custody of the children.”

Gottman talks about the 4 Horsemen in a relationship from his thin-slicing work

  1. Stonewalling
  2. Criticism
  3. Defensiveness
  4. Contempt

here’s a snippet from the book:

In summary, the 4 horsemen highlights some of the important driving forces of relationship breakdown to watch out for:

  • Contempt is the worse of the 4 horsemen because it does long term damage to the relationship
  • Females usually criticises
  • Males usually stone walls
  • Both females & males do contempt
  • Criticism usually leads to the other party becoming defensive (which will lead into a vicious cycle)
  • Stone walling usually leads to more criticism (which will lead into a vicious cycle)
