About

Blog Interdependent Thoughts maintained since 2002 by Ton Zijlstra.
European citizen in a networked world. Based in the Netherlands, living in Europe, working globally. There are no Others. There is just me and many of you.

I write about how our digital and networked world changes how we work, learn, decide and organize. I explore the tools and strategies that help us navigate the networked world. I am passionate about increasing people's ability to act (knowledge), and their ability to change (learning). Key-words: open data, open government, fablabs, making, complexity, networked agency, networked learning, ethics by design.

- In reply to Cater Vegan By Default by Tantek Çelik I fully agree with Tantek here. (ht Jack Jamieson) Doing vegetarian or vegan by default at events is meaningful as well as easy to do. No non-vegetarian minds it, especially not with non-veg side dishes. For organisers it takes away the friction of having to […]
- Wendy Grossman makes a good point. Encrypt, encrypt, encrypt as the way forward, while assuming all tech is ‘dirty’. It will nicely up the price too for dragnet surveillance, pushing the three letter outfits towards focusing on needles again, not ever larger haystacks.

- Eddo Hartmann on North Korea Visited the photo exhibit by Eddo Hartmann on North Korea in the Huis Marseille museum in Amsterdam last week. What struck me was the similarity with the Eastern block countries in the 1980’s in terms of design looking like it got frozen from the moment that outside influences were banned or blocked. It seems that […]
- Jetpack and XML-RPC Following up on yesterday’s posting on blogging more, I looked at using the WordPress desktop and Android apps. This to see if using those apps makes it easier to blog something on the go (triggered by Peter’s comment that enabling mailing entries to his blog helped his workflow.) It turns out that I can’t connect […]

- On Openness and its Limits Openness is a consequence of adopting a network metaphor for our societies. It is limited by what facilitates healthy functioning groups and individuals. That’s the balance to strike. Vibrant connected network, aka society Open Everything There seems to be a conference on Open [Your Fav Topic Here] just about every day somewhere. Open Data, Open […]
