Digital Divide

I basically started this new blog because a lot has been happening in my life, and my professional (and to a degree personal) focus has changed drastically from being mostly a technologist to thinking mostly about ways of bridging the digital divide.

Many things, that I used to write about from a personal angle in my old blog at krag.org are now becoming an integral part of my professional life.

I'm somewhere in the convergence of technology and development work. I enjoy travelling, I get excited about new cultures and approaches to well-known problems, and at heart I'm a geek. Technology is a big part of my life. I belive technology will continue to cause fundamental changes to the way we live our lives, and I hope those changes are for the better.

In a way I'm a blue- (and bleary-)eyed idealist with a desir to make a difference. And at the moment I'm living that dream.  I hope this blog will end up being an interesting blend of technology, idelaism, political realism and just plain fun. I hope over time I will be joined here by a few like-minded friends and we can create something together. Until then consider it a place for that special blend of tech and development and personal observations.
