Won’t be at camp on the other side of the world this summer. I kept thinking about it but I’m mentoring an intern at work over the summer and getting that right feels very important to me. I miss all of you and wanting to see you is strictly for personal reasons and sadly dweb to me was a sad sad sad attempt at professionalism. I needed visibility to find money to feed me family. That was an abject failure. As a pro, my architecture has been refined through people I’ve met through camp as well as my philosophy to computing, but neither of them have fundamentally changed in the past five years. If you want a LARP, it’s more nonfiction than fiction, but the clown busk has mostly been a 1:1 endeavor, so networking through my absence— there’s an entire subsystem of humans on the other side of all my nonsense about elves living in your computer. I think if you found out everyone that has been integrated with, you could figure out how to decentralize the clown from dweb entirely by figuring out hour to bridge those worlds without me. I’m competitive enough to be secure that there is no more elegant solution than Silly, so even though I won’t physically be there, my digital presence will be inadmissible, much to the chagrin of more funded distributed platforms that lobbied for me to not be at the dweb seminar last summer in my own hometown.
