The road to Antwerp
Finally. Everything is arranged and taken care off. Starting next Wednesday my Belgian adventure begins. I will join Truvo as the Director Content from the 1st of July. An exciting challenge that I really look forward to. InCircle will still continue but in a different way. I will focus on helping not for profit and non profit organisations in a new and totaly different way. If you like to know more about those activities please e-mail me or use Twitter (twitter.com/marcel_incircle or @marcel_incircle). At first I will be ‘living out of a suitcase’ and will frequently write a ‘Via Antverpia’ posting in which I keep you updated with the Belgian adventure!

Food for Thought with Ervin Laszlo a succes!
Finally, Saturday the 16th of May arrived. The first Friends4Change event in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. And was not ‘just another event’. There was a larger audience then we expected and that was cleary contributing to the dynamics and the very positive and relaxed atmosphere. Lees meer

Robotics
I have been following robotics from a distance for some time now. Decennia ago we thought that we would have dish washing robots, a hang-the-laundry-droid and other tin slaves in a very short period of time. Now we know that this is not the case. But looking at the development of information processing capabillities of robots things have changed and are going faster than we think. In the early 90ties a robot could be controlled with 100 MIPS (millions of instructions per second) now my Macbook works with 10.000 of those.
This makes me wonder about the status in less than 50 years. We most probably will have computers and robots that outrun us in loads of areas and at the rate they are developing we might not be able to catch up with them. I can’t say that I like that perspective but anyway, judge for your self: Rise of the Robots–The Future of Artificial Intelligence by Hans Moravec
