Dear reader
Naive Yearly was... perfect. That's how I feel. Thursday evening, we met on a boat. We spent Friday at a castle, and by Saturday afternoon, we rested in a park. The weather was mild, the people were kind, and the conversations were energetic. I'm so happy with how everything went and for everyone who showed up.
In his talk, Daniel Murray said that the meaning of the web exists in links, not in pages. I believe the same holds for this newsletter and the projects growing out of it. What touches me more than anything is meeting all of you from around the world, sharing this unspeakable fascination with the quiet, odd, and poetic web.
You are the links tying it all together. Thank you.
With care
Kristoffer

Thom Wong from Supergranular wrote a travel diary about Naive Yearly. It is touching to read how he goes from intimidated to summer camp friends in a few days. Thanks for joining, Thom.
