I've been wanting to write some posts, but the time's been getting away from me and I'm feeling overwhelmed with everything I'm trying to keep abreast of. Every so often the past few days, inspiration has been striking only for me to have to put it off. So I'm just gonna dump the beginnings of ideas here as either a note to myself for future posts, or, if those posts never get written after all, as seeds for others to grow.
What is "advantage," and why may it be a silly notion to apply to things we enjoy? Is our mindless pursuit of it in inappropriate areas a symptom of internalized capitalism? Are there inappropriate areas? Should we just all become wireheads? Stemming from my brother's questions about my recent MiniDisc fixation.
Organization! From roots to tips, and what I find appealing about it in the larger sense and in the personal sense. Partly reflection, partly envisioning the ways we might reduce waste by becoming more mindful of what we have and of what others could use. No way I'll touch every aspect in one blog post, but I want to at least write a good summarizing one.
"Slippy mindset," retrocomputing but modern ("heritage computing?" The permacomputer.net folks don't like "retrocomputing" because it implies obsolescence based on the mere passage of time.), finding some way to jailbreak the modern web.
Why I find the idea of agricultural tech communes appealing and why I'm trying to find other ways to build an alternative to capitalist production for providing for one's needs.
I think there was more. I'll add to this post through the day if I remember anything.
