Writing

This is my point of view. It’s ok if we disagree.

  1. On Cyberspace and Hope
    In February 1996, John Perry Barlow read his “Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace” to the World Economic Forum. It’s time to look at how that turned out.
  2. Why not try it without AI first
    I start playing with a(nother) new service that offers to make it easy to collect your online presence in one spot. It offers AI to populate fields.
  3. Human-centred design might destroy us
    Human-centred design seems wonderful on paper. It’s helped lots of people and its benefits are so easy to see. Unfortunately, its popularity and wide-spread practice might lead to our extinction.
  4. On the joy of watching experts work
    Trying to share the sheer joy I derive from watching Stewart Lee’s comedy, I found it easier to describe the experience of watching another expert practitioner.
  5. There are still amazing things out there
    This morning I got to see something I never could have imagined actually existed. It gave me so much joy that I spent the next few hours just allowing the world to amaze me. Sometimes wonderful things from 40 years ago can also be brand new. (Warning: contains references to pop culture figures and works that might induce nostalgia.)
