The internet promised connection but delivered fragmentation. Of our own minds.  We could go the way of the young people – delete social media, […]

That migth be the wrong question

From Seth’s blog … something to remember: the only way to learn, is by trying things out !!! Arnold That might be the wrong question “Will it work?” Along the way, we’ve been pushed to load our decisions with a need for certainty. It’s easier, it seems, to not try than it is to fail. […]

Over digitale hulpmiddelen

Seth Godin maakt een goede vergelijking tussen digitale hulpmiddelen en gereedschappen van houtbewerkers: die laatsten weten dat ze hun gereedschappen moeten onderhouden (reinigen, slijpen, …).

GBoard: het Google keyboard op Android … iets wat ik niet kan missen!

Dial2Do – a Great Voice Recorder !!!

I don’t remember who pointed me to this site …. but I was looking for this already quite some time: a service where I can dial to, which records my voice message, and which sends the voice message back to me! I have been using drop.io for quite some time (works nice, but you need […]
