I have fond memories of my first CD with synthesizer songs and this is one of my all-time favourite tunes.

Reading "Weaving The Web" by Tim Berners Lee on his history of creating the WWW and he mentions his encounter with Ted Nelson in 1992. Looked up the state of Xanadu and found this video of Ted. Wondering that his vision of how we can access and handle digital documents away from the "paper-plain" will some day become reality. Was wondering if Chris Aldrich would have written something about these ideas and just recently he did.

(Not a radio station), Karachi Beach Radio uses oral history and experimental sound as media of inquiry to study complex relationships between the ecology of the commons and Karachi’s rapidly commercialising (public) Seaview coastline.
KBR listens to the commons as it happens; and as it disappears… asking what the future of the commons might be? It records the insistent presence of local ecologies that create the commons. It also records the sounds of toxic agents and invasive flows that are now a part of it; and the transformations of open space into impermeable projections of generic world cities.

Important Holocaust  history being collected, preserved and presented in this project.

Great talk between Jen Simmons and Jason Scott!

Google has now given us an option to set search and location data to automatically disappear after a certain time. We should all use it. Last year you may have been addicted to Beyoncé. But nowadays you’re more into Lizzo.

Already took care of most of this. Doesn't hurt to delete the history again occasionally.

20+ years of the Web and we are still at the very beginning of understanding and implementing digitization. For the first time we are facing a generation that never got to know the offline world. By nature they are riding the wave without ever having touched the ground. We might have unlearned our ancestors' knowledge about materials and crafts, it's easy to overlook the intrinsic characteristics of the Web in favour of the newest framework or boilerplate.

Let's re-explore the material Web and evaluate what we have learned so far. Join us in Reykjavik, Iceland, for a trip through history, views and cultures.
