Hi there, I’m sitting at

Hi there,
I'm sitting at my desk working on a seminar/speech I'm giving tomorrow at my old university study programme, DØK.
It's an evening seminar about the Digital Divide and technology as a means of improving the quality of life in the developing world.
Based in part on my experiences with GeekCorps in Ghana, and in part on what I've been reading, studying, arguing with people before and especially after that excellent project.

Well, preparing for this particular seminar is harder than I thought. I have lot's of experience speaking at conferences, giving presentations, and generally listening to myself talk. This time however, I have no idea how many people will be there, what their additudes might be, and wether or not they really care about these issues. Also, I suddenly realize how appalingly little I actually know about these issues. My education is in IT and Economy, my proffessional experience is as a project manager, programmer, technical something-or-other and middle manager. That is until I mysteriously dissapeared to Ghana for 3 months. Apart from that stay, a 2 week training period before that, and my general interest in travelling, reading, and knowing-it-all, I really don't have a clue.

But I do know that these are issues that mean a lot more to me than most of what I've worked with so far. And I do spend a considerable amount of time at the moment, reading up o  these issues, thinking about the applicability of projects like GeekCorps, and discussing many of these things with other interested people. It get's me somewhere.

Well, as part of my seminar tomorrow, I've decided to make a subsection of this site at http://digdiv.krag.org/.
Here I'll keep a link section pointing to other organisations in the field, put up soem documents for download, and maybe even write a little about my perspective. But don't expect too much. It's hard enough for me to keep this page updated, without having to worry about other things. I'll try!
