Parkhotel Mondschein
Another Sunday, Another Naive Weekly — Observations From The Internet Wilderness.
Good morning,
Tomorrow we are returning to Parkhotel Mondschein in South Tyrol. We stayed home during the summer, so while the weather arguably looks more promising here in Copenhagen, I’m anticipating the trip with excitement and look forward to pausing the routines for a moment to answer a few of the defining life questions we are facing.
With care,
Kristoffer

Field Notes
On Connection
Meg Miller is doing incredible things as editor of the Are.na blog. In the latest post, Leslie Liu expands one of her Are.na channels with an intimate introduction and curious notes.It seems like a format worth copying: inviting people to reflect on the evolution and assemblage of their digital treasures and selves.
How to Use a Computer
Tuesday and Wednesday, I was in Malmö, Sweden, hosting a stage at The Conference. It was a pleasure: from the well-organized event to the engaged speakers and kind audience. Since I also had a say in the curation, it is hard for me to highlight one talk from this year’s recordings, but Maya Man’s reflection on “How to use a computer to present oneself” should resonate with most readers. Thanks to Martin, Cecilia, and the team, for the invitation and for everyone who came and said hi.
