Essential Update

June 29, 2009

First off, if you’re reading this via the Open Conceptual Essays RSS feed then you’ll want to add http://feeds.feedburner.com/BrianFrank to your subscriptions. For the past 9 months, after I merged 2 blogs together in September, I’ve been syndicating content from the same blog (brianfrank.ca) into the two different FeedBurner URLs.

Now I’m diverging again. The feed for this blog will still be http://feeds.feedburner.com/OpenConceptual

Posts at BrianFrank.ca will be more of what you’re used to, while posts here at Open/Conceptual Studio will be like what I’ve been doing at LDNbeta.ca: shorter, more blog-like posts — more curation than writing. 

I’ll explain more of what this is about over the coming days, weeks, months. I can’t really compose all of my thoughts about it at once yet. Generating discussion helps. For now, there are a lot of bits and pieces spread through my various archives:

Here are some more key words and concepts I want to incorporate:

  • social entrepreneurship
  • post industrialism
  • creative capitalism
  • design thinking
  • transformative innovation
  • experience design
  • open innovation
  • digital intellectual resources
  • social media
  • open government
  • creative cities
  • cultural evolution
  • positive psychology
  • behavioural economics
  • libertarian paternalism
  • experimental philosophy
  • pragmatism
  • process philosophy
  • emergent epistemology
  • customer service (no joke)
  • and wherever it all crosses paths…

I’m kind of excited for this move because Open Conceptual is where I started. It was the first domain I registered a little over 2 years ago. I’ve been conceptualizing it for over 5 years (not the site, but the whole enterprise). It’s sort of a homecoming.
