Ray Ozzie on openness
Ozzie elaborates on making our communication totally open. Very much like the meme i’ve been trying to spread the last couple of years.
“Why do we take for granted that everything should be closed? What if we started taking for granted that everything should be open? Instead of asking: “why should we be open?” started asking: “why should we be closed?”… This goes for software, information, organizations, etc. I’m not suggesting that everything should be open - just that we considered everything to be open as default and take the discussion from there”
Interestingly if we can put values of openness into the products and solutions that we create.

Sony NX70V Color CLIÉ
Most wanted gadget - if it just had a gsm phone built-in it would be the ultimate companion. (allthough one should be able to find voip software for it utilizing the wireless lan card one can put in it.)
If a certain gadget-pusher now just could get her employer to get me one…

Respect…
Movable Type celebrates it’s first birthday with a new 2.5 release. Amazing that this piece of software only has been around for a year - another example of what a very small group of people can do when they let themselves create - building on the shoulders of giants like Pyra, Dave Winer, Engelbart, etc.
The software is now even used on corporate sites such as Neoteny’s new corporate site.
