So this first thing is about some kind of life-structuring app that was advertised at me, and I realized that I’m getting more and more sensitive and resistant to attempts at regulating or structuring my time on a minute level. There’s this book “The End of Sleep” by Jonathan Crary that looks at all the ways capitalism is trying to utilize sleep as the last un-tapped human resource, which as someone who loves sleeping, really scared me like 5 years ago. While I agree with the sentiment that we should find ways to suck ourselves out of the rabbit-holes we find ourselves in on the internet, I don’t think intense monitoring/regulation of my daily activity is the right answer. Also “Win The Day” and “GET MORE DONE,” these days all I want to do is lose a day and get nothing done.
ANOTHER ONE!
This may be a bit of a stretch, but my friend curates this telephone pole and I really enjoyed this no-fi reinterpretation of how we find information and become aware of things, along with how we use the web to contextualize ourselves within a specific, local space.
