The curated web and Google’s commodity
The Web of the future is the curated Web.
Web browsers became a commodity.
Web search becomes a commodity. Google, Bing, commodities. Use the search engines that don’t first show you a stream of products you’re not looking for: DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Brave, and others.
Web search results are a commodity. The algorithm is a commodity algorithm. If you search for specialized information use newsletters, forums, rss feeds.
Start your own web site and help curate the web.

From small to big is just moving on
Great things are made up of lots of little things. Something big is made by making lots of little things.
Every day 1 sketch makes 365 a year. That already begins to look like a “body of work.”
Writing 100 words a day make 36500 in a year. That’s already half a novel.

Taleb’s Bed of Procustes: made of concrete
I am reading The Bed of Procrustes by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. It contains bold aphorisms in a concrete style.
Technology is at best when it is invisible.
Every social association that is not face-to-face is injurious to your health.

Photowork – style and genre as limiting concepts
I am reading Photowork: Forty Photographers on Process and Practice, edited by Sasha Wolf. It is an instructive little book for the photographer. The answers to the questions about style and genre are especially revealing. There are hardly any photographers who care about style and genre. Many reject the concepts. Fun for analysts, in retrospect, at best. Certainly, these are not things the photographer should be concerned with while doing the work. Before you know it, they become self-imposed creative constraints.
