My writings

  • Cognections - site
    Precognition, cognition, recognition - photos and writings.
  • Lifeblog - site
    Thoughts and actions ranging from biomedicine, molecular manipulations, indiscriminate writing, the long now and a post-electronic age, various forms of performances thespian and corporate, and philosophizing on the fusion of Internet and mobile devices.
  • One night
    A global story of one night in the mobile life. Written for Vodafone's receiver magazine. Made into a podcast, too.
  • chillin'
    Deep thinking while up in the stratosphere.
  • The Depths of Thought and the Inquiry into Our Spirit
    Something I wrote eons ago, wondering at the difference between humans and other animals.

Biography

Life is complex and we strive to simplify it. Here at Cognections we try to see life's interconnections, the more than casual connections that go far beyond 'six-degrees', the type of connections that tie everything in a web where pulling a string distorts the local area significantly, but still can be felt in the farthest reaches in an invisible but discoverable way.

And is there a spider lurking in these cognections, some sort of all feeling, all seeing, all doing - building and repairing the web, but also devouring those who disturb or get caught in it?

That remains to be discovered....

Who am I?
Hopelessly peripatetic. Thoughts and actions ranging from biomedicine, molecular manipulations, indiscriminate writing, the Long Now and a post-electronic age, various forms of performances thespian and corporate, and philosophizing on the fusion of Internet and mobile devices. Currently, bloodied and bruised from trying to drag a mega-corp into the Hyperconnected Age. Oh, and a happy father and husband.

Also...
Here's a formal paragraph for those folks ask for a bio (I will leave it here for easy cut and paste):

Charlie Schick recently joined Nokia's Social Media Relations team. He was previously product manager for Ovi.com. His career at Nokia also includes launching Nokia Lifeblog, S60, and the S60 site, and providing internet strategy consulting throughout the company. Prior to joining Nokia, he was an editorial consultant for various online and print publications. In addition to having written numerous articles for online and print telecom publications, he has written various research papers in leading journals and co-authored a book on advanced phone systems. One of his dark secrets is that he spent 12 years in basic Molecular and Cellular Biology research, reaching the level of Research Fellow and Instructor at Children's Hospital Boston, part of the Harvard Medical School. He has a graduate degree from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

His public personal site is at http://cognections.typepad.com/lifeblog.

He can also be followed on Flickr as schickr.

Note: Not to be rude, but this is my personal address. Please don’t flood me with ideas that you think Nokia might be interested in. Better to leave a comment or trackback relevant to one of my posts (emphasis: relevant). Or go visit one of the Nokia blogs (and, in the near future, my Nokia site).
