Depth = Full Focus Attention

Mark Pesce in his contribution to a piece on ABC Unleased shares in “My dreams for 2010” What Mark refers to as depth is what Linda Stone calls “the next aphrodisiac” in her talk at Supernova 2005 – Full Focused Attention.  Five years into Linda’s 20 year cycle framework of culture, cycle where swinging backContinueContinue reading “Depth = Full Focus Attention”

Affinity, Humanity and Disability.

The other day whilst reading a feed somewhere in my hundreds, I came across a link to a video .. this video in fact : I instantly felt a recognition and affinity and especially wth the subtleties in the kaos (yes, oh yes, there’s subtleties), so much so it sent me hunting for more. IContinueContinue reading “Affinity, Humanity and Disability.”

Me, We and the Network – shout-out

On of my ‘Network’ friends, Nancy White, from Full Circle Associates in the States, has been out here in Australia doing some presentations. Here’s a snippet where my ‘We’ friend Mike Seyfang and I get a shout-out in her Keynote at the Learning Technologies 2009 Conference held this week in Qld. It makes me thinkContinueContinue reading “Me, We and the Network – shout-out”

Tweenbots: displaying our humanness

Tweenbots http://blip.tv/play/AejAL5OoUw Something about this is neat. The act of helping is so ingrained and helping robots reveals something inherent about our humanness. Were these ppl helping to be a part of something? Or because they knew there must be human behind it? Unorganised crowd sourcing. Fascinating. Dave [via David Weinberger]

Preserving Digital Identity in my Will

I made a decision yesterday while travelling home – I’m going to make allowance in my will towards the ongoing existence of my digital identity. Now, don’t panic, I’m not ill and don’t intend on dying anytime soon. But it will happen. And it so happens that with recent changes in living arrangements I’ve beenContinueContinue reading “Preserving Digital Identity in my Will”

Incandescent Blue in October – Between a laugh and a Tear

October is Anxiety and Depression Awareness Month. October 10 is World Mental Health Day. Expect to see lots of Blue. A lot of my Twitter friends are already turning blue and are doing various things, calling it Blueday2008 and using the hashtag. I’m never one for jumping on bandwagons for the sake of it. LikeContinueContinue reading “Incandescent Blue in October – Between a laugh and a Tear”

Self-organised networks and collective productivity

Stowe Boyd has (as usual) more great expressions on network/collective productivity : … the underlying premises of our educational system, which is to produce good little individual economic cogs. Meanwhile, the kids are turning themselves into self-organized networks where collective productivity is the central aim. … … Meanwhile, the kids are reshaping their cognition toContinueContinue reading “Self-organised networks and collective productivity”

Post Industrial Context Shifting and Network Productivity

Back in 2005 after thinking about “Attention, Recognition & Context” I wrote in 2006 that I was “hung up on the concept of context”  and a bit later “On context and openness” Which lead to the thinking about how I do what I do at Lifekludger, documented in the “Contexts and Clues” section of theContinueContinue reading “Post Industrial Context Shifting and Network Productivity”

Thoughts from the road – change, steps and the signal.

Took a quick trip bush. Getting into the van, this line came to me: Into the cockpit of our future Fly the memories of our past That’s not quoting anyone, it’s my original thought. There’s a poem in there somewhere. Maybe the rest will appear sometime. Or maybe it’s just stimulus. Sitting in the backContinueContinue reading “Thoughts from the road – change, steps and the signal.”

Individual the centre of gravity – the times still are a changin, Facebook

As the present now Will later be past The order is Rapidly fadin’. And the first one now Will later be last For the times they are a-changin’. -Bob Dylan Stowe Boyd puts it well. At last, I actually read something that points to where the real power of an open distributed web will beContinueContinue reading “Individual the centre of gravity – the times still are a changin, Facebook”

Naked

Got a track back to a post I wrote last year about openness on the Net. It was a link from a post on what appears a fairly new blog called naked yak. Looking around, turns out it’s the blog of a team of people from Naked Ltd who is a start-up company working onContinueContinue reading “Naked”

stories connect

Dear Mr Hodge (Uncle). Connections happen when stories overlap. Need to build a way to overlap the geek_dots in the geek_stories. Dave (Uncle) PS: I wanted to leave this as a comment on this post on on10.net but do I really gotta sign up for yet another account on another silo?
