pretty amazing that the hands feel very recognisably Steve Jobs

I was worried that might be the only way.........

I've lost a precious book somewhere in my shelves, found a couple of very low review/dodgy android apps for categorising, have to photograph every shelf individually; does either of you recommend anything out there? hoping there's something I can just walk & video without sending all my data out...

there must be a german word for that's good news but it's actually bad news, which is actually quite good news, but that makes it really really bad news.

sure! let me see what I can dig up, and def up for a conversation...

anyway this all reminded me of various tangential conversations (and others' work) from back then, along with the things you've been mentioning.... i've got nobody else to mention all this to, but thought this miiight connect to some of your recent reflections on GIS etc from +20yrs ago.....

the platform was built primarily around a map of the connected datastreams because i expected geolocation to be the most important point of human interest…. oh the work i put into that map!! all seems a bit quaint now…..

first step was extended environments markup language (basically took the construction industry’s IFC’s for buildings to add time, interaction and geolocation dimensions); when i launched Pachube 2yrs later it was all about sharing connected environments (not sensors which it was later used for)

also natalie j’s feral robotic dogs (geolocated environment datastreams), wilfried hou je bek’s ‘psychogeographical markup language’ (subjective relationship to space is key), cybersyn (data only important for decision-making), etc. etc.

RSS + open source space (sharable/reconfigurable real-time spatial relations), buildings having conversations (if they talk, they’ll need datastreams), ron herron walking cities (if they move, they’ll need geolocations)...

i recently went over my earliest grant applications ca. 2005 for a project then called Environment XML (later became a sort of IoT platform/community Pachube); in those docs i see myself trying to connect dots between:

never quite got round to writing this up, dunno but poooossible some of it might be tangentially related to what you’ve been discussing recently and/or you miiiight be the only person i can think of who could find this a little bit interesting (pooooossibly only a little bit):
August 27, 2025 at 4:46 PM
me too! esp books....
