Printing off this piece on "Rethinking Repair" to read sometime this week... perhaps on the bus, perhaps on Friday when I've tried to block out some time for research and reading... https://sjackson.infosci.cornell.edu/RethinkingRepairPROOFS(reduced)Aug2013.pdf
@ruth after taking a few years to get over the existentialism, the idea of nothing lasting forever as opposed to just one thing lasting forever is much less horrific and actually comforting
@ambyrb it's not unlike how I don't want to live forever either... I just don't. That sounds exhausting.
I mean "Finds hope in rotting logs..." was already in my bio.
Change, decay, repair, the naturalness of it all...even when it may also involve catastrophic and unnatural harms to the environment... one of my colleagues who works on digital things has suggested the idea that we could conceive of the digital and digital objects much as we conceive of natural ones... that they will decay. That bit rot is just another kind of rot. That not everything will last. I find that appealing.
