Lift 07: Fragments of Captured Attention
Back from Geneva. Here are a couple of short, offline notes I took during the various sessions. I don’t want to provide a write-up of the sessions I attended. See Stephanie’s or Bruno’s excellent write-ups instead. And in addition, the LIFT 07 videos and presentations will be available online some time soon. So here’s a… Continue reading Lift 07: Fragments of Captured Attention

You can’t keep up!
Kathy provides tips how to reduce the info overload/pressure-to-keep-up stress: Find the best aggregators. Get summaries. Cut the redundancy! Unsubscribe to as many things as possible. Recognize that gossip and celebrity entertainment are black holes. Pick the categories you want for a balanced perspective, and include some from OUTSIDE your main field of interest.

deja vue
reading TechCrunch feels very much like the dot com boom, non? http://www.techcrunch.com/ The typical Web 2.0 story: somebody builds a web app. suddenly it pops up on del.icio.us or digg or both. The web app gets swamped with hits. Next, registration is closed or the web app is down, while the app is moved to… Continue reading deja vue
i’m living in a fridge…
Arrived back in Basel. To discover that it’s still winterly cold here. I’m living in a fridge… I enjoyed my 3 week stay in Blantyre, where I surprisingly still feel at home. As if I never left.

One week vacation in Blantyre. It feels more like a month than a week. A lot has happened since I arrived at Chileka last Saturday. I even managed to fall ill for a day and a half. I still feel a little bit of nausea. It’s a long time since I have been in Blantyre… Continue reading very south

I particularly liked the emails his personal assistant wrote on his behalf to stop receiving press releases: Dear All, Jacobs often receives mails from Colorado news, too often. They are definitely interesting topics. However, these topics are not suitable for “Esquire.” Further, we… Continue reading Personal Outsourcing

dreaming of Lake Malawi
On rainy and stormy days there is little to do. Listening to music and reading have their limits. It is then that the housebound mind takes its own journeys, unfettered by time or place. One sails, once again in the Philippines’ Camotes Sea, walks on England’s moors, swims in Lake Malawi, kneels in Vienna’s Saint… Continue reading dreaming of Lake Malawi
