This blog will be an archive, a central repository for various things. These may be just links to interesting tidbits, valuable resources online or full featured posts. They may be personal reflections, neutral & objective overviews, extensive reviews or huge – but relevant – linkdumps.
On anything thought-provoking, inspiring, valuable, … anything I think worth sharing and is more than just a copy-and-paste job from other sources.
I will try to focus on the following topics:
- Future, Science & Technology
- Software, Computing, Internet & Linux
- Visualization, Information & Data Management
- Productivity & Howtos
Through a procedure of strict & consequent categorizing & tagging I plan on providing you with a filtered perspective on these topics. The central page will include all topics, but through the categories you’ll be able to filter down the topics you are interested in.
Since this is a shiny new blog I can’t just easily point to some representative posts, but I can point to other sources that’ll give you an idea of what posts you can expect on this blog:
- I’ve been using the service Clipmarks for over 2 years and tried sharing everything I find worthwhile via this service.
- You could browse all of my clips, to get an idea on what this’ll be about. Or in stead of exploring the whole collection, you could start with a specific tag such as:
- You could also take a look at my Diigo bookmarks. You can also browse my entire diigo-collection.
- Alternatively, you can go over to my del.icio.us bookmarks. But these are very chaotic and unstructured.
- I’ve made some contributions to the blog K21st: 21st Century Must Have Knowledge. The title is pretty self-explanatory. Read K21st’ About for a more detailed description.
- And lastly, you could take a look into my Link list in the sidebar. These all point to some great sites/blogs. Here’s a small selection to start exploring:
I’ll keep to the following guidelines:
- This will not be a simple rehashing of other people’s posts or a copy-and-paste job from news items. For such things as simple bookmarks, just browse my clips or my diigo bookmarks. The information you’ll find at this blog will be useful, valuable & contain lots of links with the utmost respect for the originating source.
- This blog is not a personal diary or journal and it’s my intention you will not find any narcissistic tendencies or shameless self-promotion which is so stereotypical of other blogs.
- I encourage participation & commenting. Interesting remarks & valuable links will be integrated in the original post. Disagreement is not only allowed, but encouraged. If you do contribute, do so in a respectful manner.
- To summarize: I’ll offer you quality content, get to the point, include lots of valuable links and concentrate on my own obsessions & area of expertise.
