I hope you bring in the XO if you can.

Thanks for these examples, Michael, seeing how Steve Lambert talks about failure, collaboration, and development from an artists’ perspective is helpful in deciding how to describe work as a non-coder.

Today I read a bit on this very Euro blog that has a conversation about youth, newness, social movements, politics, tactics , and how the 80s fucked us.
