The dedication to Amazon in Doctorow’s Little Brother didn’t age well:
"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 tracked down the <code>org-html-convert-region-html</code> method in the org source. Thusly, I am going to try posting HTML formatted notes from Emacs to my site via my micropub elisp thingy, and have them also syndicate to Mastodon via Bridgy. </p>

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…

There’s loads of fun interactive fiction games to play at IFComp 2020. We came across IFComp yesterday, via a friend of E’s, and played Saint Simon’s Saw and Stand Up / Stay Silent.
Came across McKenzie Wark via the latest issue of STIR. Her work on the commodification of information sounds really interesting. Will have to check out A Hacker Manifesto and other works. The identification of the ‘Vectoralist class‘ back in 2004 sounds pretty on point.
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.
