just an fyi: that biko post has been archived at https://archive.ph/W2GE5

actually, in my flex against entropy, i managed to capture more than half of biko's writing, which admittedly was a bit of a time-sensitive task, but since biko's had enough of a profound influence on me for the short time i've even been aware of them, i'm kind of proud of that feat. not sure what to do with all that writing besides reading it myself tho.

i included the link there mostly as a citation but i do have somewhere else the archived post may come in handy...

perhaps you can compile the archived writings into a pdf and distribute it like samizdat in the smoky backrooms of the internet (email and DMs)

very cool post. i love your mega css file. tufte is indeed a very interesting person! never knew someone could have such strong (and well-formed) opinions about powerpoints.

when will the frontier be conquered? wonder what the end game is gonna look like -- or maybe we're already there ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

there are frontiers everywhere...

going nuts in new-suburbia is 21st century "prairie madness"; every time i take a wrong turn in saskatoon and end up lost in some new barely-finished development it feels like i'm trapped in someone's hell. coming from vancouver, i'm not used to there being this much land to expand into, and yet it's also amazing just how speedily you can exit the city and be absolutely nowhere

the great central canadian plains... i connected thru calgary once flying back from japan a while back and i still vividly recall the view on approach

Very detailed analysis. Good finds!

"Preservation for preservations sake" Interesting.. Will think on this

Excellent entry, dude. I already had my own views about digital preservation and no, not everything needs to be archived and it's fine like this. 99% of everything digital is crap. Impermanence here is fine.

I’ve also been thinking about this a lot lately. I’ve been wiping my hard drive quite a bit recently, and while I back up some of it, I’ve been to lazy to save anything other than my artworks folder. it always gives me some anxiety- surely I’lll miss something from the thousands of deleted things.. But it’s always fine in the end

i loved reading this

the sky is blue and you are beautiful

This review was unironically useful for me. I was tempted to buy that just to satisfy my curiousity on how terrible it is. Now I know and I saved $30.
