What’s coming up …

April 10th, 2007  |  Published in Weblogs  |  1 Comment

I’ve been reviewing my blogging plans, and I have realized that I have been quite remiss in continuing the varied overlapping series that I started over the past few months. So, over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be digging back into some interesting territory. I’ll be blogging a new chapter of Yochai Benkler’s The Wealth of Networks (which, by the way, is about information and personal autonomy - it dovetails perfectly with the conversation about open content in the nonprofit sector.) I’ll be talking more about open standards, including the open document standards war, and XDI and identity. And I’ll keep talking about my thoughts on technology consulting, and open content. Also, Deborah Finn gave me the blogging assignment to apply just war theory to my approach to technology. It’s an interesting assignment, one I’m gamely choosing to accept. I’m really looking forward to the next batch of blogging coming up, and I hope it turns out to be useful and engaging.

    Dear Michelle,

    I’m delighted that you are taking on the “just war theory” challenge! As we sat on a sofa in the lobby of the Omni Shoreham, and you enumerated the principles of your conscious, minimalist, neo-luddite approach, it suddenly seemed clear that there was a significant overlap. Proportionality, last resort, probability of success, regard for the safety of civilians…you have these already lined up, and only need to exegete them.

    :-)

    Warm regards from Deborah
