Dear reader
Friday was my birthday. To celebrate we visited an island an hour away from Athens. It was similar to how we celebrated Uno’s birthday ten days earlier: beach, taverna food, and limited computer time.
My highlight was waking up.
»Happy birthday.«
»Thank you, Uno.«
»I can be your birthday teacher.«
With care
Kristoffer

Exactly one year ago I hosted the first Naive Yearly. I wrote about the day in the foreword to the digital documentation published with Meg Miller and Are.na. It remains one of my proudest days. Next month we gather at a Renaissance castle for the second edition.
