"Amazon’s in the process of reinventing what it means to be a bookstore in the twenty-first century and I can’t think of a better group of people to be facing down that thorny set of problems."
I started reading A Hacker Manifesto. I can tell that it’s inspired by The Society of the Spectacle, in that it seems to just repeat the same words over and over, in various different orderings, and that I can’t make any sense of it. Maybe it’s like Lisp and it will click at some point.
I watched this video (https://invidious.tube/watch?v=eiV0wS_in-4) with McKenzie Wark though and it makes much more sense. Might try reading Capital is Dead first…
Going to try and do this every week…
I went for a hike up to Clougha Pike in the Forest of Bowland last week. It was gorgeous up there. Quite pleasantly bleak moorland and stone.
The peak of Clougha Pike, looking over towards the Yorkshire Dales I think.
View from a distance of the Andy Goldsworthy sculpture.
Another angle on the Andy Goldsworthy sculpture.
The heather of the moorland in autumn.
A lovely spot at the bottom of Clougha.
Another greenspace metaphor for better online spaces – the online park. See also: digital gardens.
