Getting the ball rolling this new year. Working on a new Aotearoa NZ commissioned tech art project for a May deadline. A couple of shows of Asunder coming up too, one in Japan. More about those later. Alongside I'm working on an upgrade to an edition of the Transparency Grenade, as part of a collection in Switzerland. Also hoping to organise a Collapsathon binge writing sprint as part of the Collapsible project. Alongside helping out Rafael Lozano-Hemmer on a new project of his.
Bent u van plan om de nieuwe Dirk en Desiree te kopen, kijk dan eens bij de lokale Stripwinkel. Neem bijvoorbeeld Stripsenzo Web Winkel in Almaar! De grote jongens hebben het niet nodig! ๐ https://stripsenzo.nl/product/de-wereld-van-dirk-en-desiree-2/
Should W3C Social Web Interest Community Group (open to all) resolve next week to charter a new Social Web Working Group (open only to employees of member companies) without clarifying why or to what ends?
Have you licked the boots of your favourite billionaire and/or trillion-dollar corporation yet today?
Remember to nitpick and challenge every word of those trying to warn folks away from them and creating alternatives that donโt exploit people for profit (fucking commies, amirite?) while giving them every benefit of the doubt (letโs be frank, who hasnโt caused the occasional genocide?)
Thatโs not my name! Practical problems in real name policies.
Once in a while, big companies suggest that the answer to abuse is to ban anonymity and institute a Real Names policy. This time, it is Google's turn. They think that critical software should only be authored by people with "real names".

On project handovers:
being an open source maintainer, I would never handover a project to a person that I dont know.
(In real life or just knowing their name and having talked to them on a video call).
