Blogging again

"The thing about blogging is, you can just write about the things you love:
1. love a thing, and
2. write about it.
Sometimes this takes the form of, basically, an appreciative yawp. Other times it’s the most penetrating analysis you’ve ever read"

An objection from #RobinSloan no less!

Now author etc but also in previous lives a media inventor — remember Fish? Spring ‘83?

(2025-09-26) Sloan This is How E-books Should Work Robin Sloan's latest print-zine is titled: This is How E-books Should Work. (And/or "Information technology should aspire to the speed & privacy of the printed page.") _“Twenty-five years into a digital century, and the e-books are dismal.”_ Goodness, I disagree with almost all of it. Ah, it's sold out. So I won't feel bad about quoting it. (The first thing I did was scan/ocr the text so I could read it in MoonReader, my ebook reader!)

Goodness, I disagree with almost every bit of #RobinSloan's latest zine about #ebooks. I'll have to go into details later...

This was - Amazing. Defo biased as I’ve loved everything Robin Sloan has put out so far, but it’s always delightful to come to that realisation that an author has become an auto-purchase.

Is anyone else reading—or has read— Moonbound by Robin Sloan?

I love the beavers’ architectural structure of argument. It’s one of the most interesting ideas I’ve encountered in my readings in quite some time

"Annabel Scheme wore surveillance earrings. Each one was a glinting grape-cluster of wide-angle lenses and tiny microphones, and, dangling one from each ear, they captured nearly the full sphere of the world. They allowed me to perch on Scheme’s shoulders and see approximately through her eyes—and through eyes in the back of her head. The only thing in the world I couldn’t see was Scheme’s face, unless there was a reflection—a pane of glass, perhaps, or a rear-view mirror." (Robin Sloan, Annabel Scheme)

Highly recommend this little-known book!
