I need to use posterous better

I’ve seen so many people doing smart things with it, like @mahemoff does at http://mini.softwareas.com/ I think what’s triggered the thought was seeing his post at http://softwareas.com/2010-the-year-email-took-off echoed by another work colleague (not one of the “usual suspects”)

Implicit versus explicit

I loved this quote:

” … the world is not a meaningless collection of billions of facts. Rather, it is a field of significance organized by and for beings like us with our bodies, desires, interests and purposes.”

johntropea:

“Implicit knowledge isn’t explicit knowledge that we’re not currently thinking about. Implicit knowledge isn’t there the way ore is buried. It’s “there” only in the sense that we can generate it when required. Most simply: That we can come up with an answer doesn’t mean that the answer was lying dormant in us all along. Answering questions is a creative act. Similarly, the context that is our world is not made up of facts and knowledge, although it is only from that context that facts and knowledge can emerge. As Dreyfus says: ” … the world is not a meaningless collection of billions of facts. Rather, it is a field of significance organized by and for beings like us with our bodies, desires, interests and purposes.” (p. 26)”
