Information – what the F*** ?

2009-03-26T11:51:44Z

There are a lot of F*** words out there. FUSI is one of them: Find, Use, Share Information. Some of you probably know already that I’m pretty obsessed with how people handle the information overload that we all experience. FUSI is definitely one of the fundamental pillars of the NWOW (New World of Work). When I drove to work this morning, and that took me some time, I started to think about the F-part in FUSI: where do I get my information? Information, meaning: any kind...(read more)

The Mac Wheel – not for serious people

2009-01-08T22:03:00Z

Definitely not for me… The very last sentence of the news lady on this topic says it all: “It remains to been seen if the Wheel will catch on in the business world where people use the computer for actual work and not just clicking around” This woman is my man – if you get my meaning. I couldn’t have said it any better :-) ";" galleryimg="no" mce_src="http://blogs.technet.com/blogfiles/koen_daems/WindowsLiveWriter/TheMacWheelnotforseriouspeople_11A1F/video854a461e5ef3.jpg"> Technorati Tags:...(read more)

Personal Brain – feedback

2009-01-01T14:40:52Z

A few days ago, I downloaded and installed Personal Brain – a MindMapping tool. I love the tool, you can basically map anything in there (your whole brain if you want). I got one problem however: I love the tool, but I don’t see the benefit of it! Probably I should get to know the why and how of MindMapping. Anyone got the same problem? You love the tool, but don’t see the use of it?...(read more)

Microsoft is helping in developing the next gen of Computer Interfaces – especially important when handling small devices such as hand held computers, PDAs, Mobiles… The idea is to use your fingers at the back of the device, not at the front, where they will only obscure the sight. You can read about its development here: http://www.technologyreview.com/computing/21799/?a=f Technorati Tags: Computer Interface , Microsoft...(read more)

A tool for GTD?

2008-12-28T12:57:05Z

I’m more and more fascinated by the power of Getting Things Done (see my previous blog post for book reference).
