An interesting post from the GapingVoid blog! Fight for your right – to focus TL:DR QUOTE We used to read books. Now we scroll. We used to debate. Now we rage-post. The internet promised connection but delivered fragmentation. Of our own minds. We could go the way of the young people – delete social media, […]

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. […]
A nice blogpost from Seth Godin, about the need for use of taxonomies in service, which I can only greatly agree upon, in view of the poor user interfaces I encounter amost every day 🙁 Arnold ================================================ Taxonomy as a service When the truck makes a delivery at the nearby True Value hardware store, Danny […]
Another viewpoint from Seth Godin: Broken (and not worth fixing) In one corner of the parking garage near my office, there’s no reception for a car’s satellite radio. This is clearly broken, but it’s also not a problem. Certainly not a problem worth anyone’s attention when there are so many other problems to […]

We moeten dus zelf zorgen dat we de digitale hulpmiddelen (die we zelf uitkiezen!!!) optimaal gebruiken, maar ook in vraag stellen (zijn er geen andere, betere tools op de markt, […]
Below, a very interesting post about how one could unlock tacit knowledge (= the knowledge that is ‘locked’ within people (their experiences, skills, insights and judgements … locked in their brains). AKA: you don’t know what you know 🙂 Read the full post here
Ik heb gisteren terug GBoard geïnstalleerd op mijn Android Smartphone … simpel omdat er geen ernstig = even goed alternatief te vinden is 🙁 Ik heb wel de privacy settings aangepast om geen feedback van mijn keystrokes naar Google te sturen 🙂 Voordelen: Azerty toetsenbord met Nederlandse “woord-aanvulling / correctie” (de meeste andere keyboards ondersteunen […]
some thoughts about time management (Getting Things Done, or GTD, is a very popular ‘guideline’ to make time management successful). Arnold
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 […]
