James Gleick at @nybooks.com calls Amateurs! an 'insightful... philosophical investigation'! Anyone who reads my book will find that that the people I write about are far from all the 'same age & class' but the book is reviewed alongside Cory Doctorow & Tim Berners-Lee & I'll take that).

@artreview_magazine double whammy: online I ask, "when, (if ever) should we work for free?"; and, in the mag, "who can afford to work at scale (and how)?" (featuring @minxmarple.bsky.social)

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

I wrote an essay for Mirror Lamp Press about living through a summer of political rot, in which governments failed to act against genocide

It was extremely difficult to write but there was nothing else I could write, and I guess difficulty is a thing writing is for
