Inspiration to learn about yourself

Via Isabella Lo , I came across this interesting 2 minute video  with Tony Conrad  brewing coffee. Being a coffee lover myself and - for some time - also fascinated by  about.me  and how the about.me website helps people to, for example, learn about and connect with other people, I almost instantly found the video inspiring. Being interested in discovering values people have  I had a look at, for example,  Tony Conrad's collections . I noticed that he is inspired by many different topics / areas. Tony Conrad's collections represent a large variety of interests - ranging from founders  over chefs  and fashionistas  to musicians , farmers , architects and interior designers  Reflecting on 1) the relatively strong variation in interests of Tony Conrad, 2) that he has lived in such diverse places as New York, New Delhi, Jakarta, Chicago, Paris and San Francisco, 3) that he has done a lot of different things in his life - includin...

The other day, I participated at this event  initiated by nextzürich . Watching the movie the human scale  at the start of the event,   I learned, for example, that to rebuild the city of Christchurch, New Zealand , more than 100,000 ideas were developed by citizens. Watching the film, I also learned that, in New York, USA , ideas on city development were continuously tried out / tested.

They see the result of their creative work. Innovation is happening. The moderated discussion after the film was interesting, I found. Reflecting on what was sai...

Reading this  article  and this  article , I learned that Hamburg is working on a plan that, over the next 15-20 years, is going to expand the number of green spaces considerably. The  hamburg green network  will connect parks, recreational areas, playgrounds, gardens, and cemeteries through green paths. These changes are not least being made, as I have understood it, to respond to  environmental changes  such as increasing temperatures and sea levels and - more generally - to make the city a healthier and more pleasant place to live.  Digital technologies contribute to changes that are going on in the way people get from a to b. Via  betahaus hamburg , I learned, for example, about  citeecar . What I like about the solution of citeecar is, for example, that it is simple to understand - and a  relatively inexpensive transportation solution . In short, it seems to be a carsharing solution for the average joe. Studying other t...
