Lemons and Hotdogs
Taper, Chia Amisola, Maya Man and more :)
Dear reader,
I wanted to share a short story about how Uno called it the best day ever after we made hotdogs at home. I appreciate how the smallest, most mundane moments can make for a perfect day in his life, but with everything happening, such a story feels out of touch, and in this way, the previous year continues into the new.
I hope you are all safe. It’s a wild and beautiful and confusing time to be alive.
With care,
Kristoffer

Field notes
Taper is an online literary magazine for small computational pieces. In the latest edition, the softly enforced topic is Superstitions. My favourite piece is the Coyote Spotting Simulator.

»When I share websites I’ve made, people often respond with comments like “I wish the web were like this.” These reactions confuse me: I just made this website, and the web still is very much like this: personal, poetic, expressive. That is, if you know where to look.«
— Chia Amisola in Making space for a handmade web

My Machine and Me is a personal reflection on Glance Back, Maya Man’s browser extension that takes a daily photo of you using your computer. By the way, I’d love to exchange Glance Back photos. If you email one, I’ll email one back.
