Everything is connected: the machine is us/ing us
July 4, 2008 by R.R. NederhoedWatch this excellent introduction to the evolving internet by Michael Wesch, who’s an assistent professor in Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University. Ideal material to introduce your colleagues with the concept of Web2.0. It explains why some changes are happening. For example, why the need to separate form from content? “I like Word!?”, ever heard that? I have.
If you’re interested there’s also the creator’s explaination, where he refers to We are the web by Kevin Kelly. Next on my list to read.
While I’m at it: consider watching these CommonCraft introductions to Microblogging and Social Media (thanks FackeldeyFinds).

Open up for OpenID
March 24, 2008 by R.R. NederhoedOne up for Michael Arrington:
It’s time for these companies to do what’s right for the users and fully adopt OpenID as relying parties. That doesn’t fit in with their strategy of owning the identity of as many Internet users as possible, but it certainly fits in with the Internet’s very serious need for an open, distributed and secure single log in system (OpenID is all three).
With “these companies” referring to AOL, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo!. I couldn’t agree more.

Lijst.com announcement
February 29, 2008 by R.R. NederhoedLijst is something I’ve had on my mind for years. The concept evolved. Today I think it is mature enough to be announced: lijst.com
Feedback is highly appreciated.
My affair with Zope3
February 24, 2008 by R.R. NederhoedWhen Martijn Faassen introduced me to Zope3 in December 2004, something happened. I fell for her logic, her view on the future. Her looks were promising. We quickly partnered in a small project I was working on.
Then things started to get messy. Evenings of joy turned into evenings of long, frustrating conversations. She just wouldn’t dance with me anymore. She complained about my lack of understanding.
Last week I received Philipp’s updated Zope counseling guide. A fresh impulse to give our relation a second chance. Hopefully Philipp will assist me in understanding her better.
On first sight things seem promising. Zope3 let go some of her complexness and grew a bit more mature. Let’s see if we can get to dancing again!
