Today's the day! After two years and hundreds of hours of effort from 20 authors, More Zeros and Ones is officially out in the world! Get your copy from bookstores (in NZ) or from the awesome folks at @BWB_NZ: bwb.co.nz/books/more-zeros-a…

Looking for reccs for writing about what it is that makes something a "photo". Potentially about why photo is a useful designation in terms of an image's relation of people/things being present in a particular space and how this might change with advanced image editing tools.

Hurrah! Post from the internet! 1. @chaykak’s fancy hardback book about what algorithmic recommendations have done to our cultural ecosystem. 2. @k_pendergrast and @APndrgrst’s deliberately lofi zine about resisting that in our creative thinking. Two objects in conversation.

It's only September, but @k_pendergrast and I have started work on our Antistatic Print Object for 2023, and this year we're making it without computers! Wish us luck! Here's a little snapshot of my workspace this week before I mail my typed pages to Kelly for finishing touches.

I am 0% surprised but still very underwhelmed that the Herald is using Chat GPT to write its quizzes.

My best friend, who lives in Australia, is in town this week and I was so looking forward to having her stay and to hang out. But instead I am isolating with Covid and just really hoping I test negative before she heads home early next week.

My big achievement for today is making a new folder for screenshots of my favourite election headlines and snippets of news.

If you're reporting on how uncomfortable someone felt being kissed on the lips by their boss, perhaps you don't need to publish pictures and videos to go along with the story — especially not at the top of your highly-visited home page.

What better way to commemorate the recent removal of isolation rules than to test positive for Covid? Rest assured, I’ll be staying put at my place this week.

Do you know anyone looking for a place to live in Pōneke? Bevan and I are looking for a flatmate until the end of May. $210/week for one person or $295/couple, includes basic cleaning supplies etc, utilities extra. Let me know if you want more info and I can send details.

There's a lot of hype about GenAI. Much of it makes me uneasy because trying to shortcut the creative/learning process ends in trouble. Nick Cave put this much more brutally and eloquently in this column, I highly recommend reading: (H/T @JamesWords) theredhandfiles.com/chatgpt-…

Is an "aspirational goal" just the thing you know needs to happen/is the right thing to do but will never happen due to lack of actual money/effort/political will being put behind it?

At the end of each year, @k_pendergrast and I send Antistatic mail to friends and colleagues. This time, they’re gonna come with bespoke stamps (for NZ folks, at least!)
