Dear reader
I promised myself to write this newsletter during the weekdays. To not sit in front of the laptop clicking links and writing words Saturday evening. But here I am again, sitting Saturday evening in front of the computer, so I apologize for the short intro. At least the links are as good as always.
With care
Kristoffer

»In the last years, Permacomputing has become a useful umbrella of interest to me. It’s not a word that can be precisely pinned down, which is part of what I like about it, and it doesn’t have a ton of history as a term, so there is still a feeling of openness about what it could be.«
— Max Fowler on Permacomputing in their lovely newsletter, Canal Swans.

Varia is a space in Rotterdam challenging our perception of the internet and technology, not in the utopian, projected future way, but in an every day, present way. They recently published a short .pdf bulletin on Seasonal Computing, their current research focus. It’s a lovely format I hope others will copy.
