The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders

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.

As a child I remember that taking pictures sort of always involved posing. ‘Hold on, let me adjust the camera, ok now smile’, and click. Pictures were made by artificially ‘freezing the frame’. Digital […]
    • BlogWalk 1.0, impressions The first BlogWalk was a success. We didn’t walk much, and we certainly didn’t blog, but we had a great day regardless. I’ll be posting impressions in the coming days, was already blogging in my head as I took a shower just now to shake of the fatigue, but let’s start with showing you pictures. […]

    • The 7 habits of highly effective bloggers Mike Sanders in his blog Keep Trying, translates Covey’s book on the 7 habits of highly effective people to blogging.
