Weeknotes 🗓️
A weekly missive from the virtual desktop of Jay Springett.
Each issue covers what I’ve been: reading, doing, thinking about, some links recommendations, a good meme and more.
General Seminar
I’m going to be a special guest at Near Future Lab’s General Seminar No9 on Synthetic Media/Synthetic Brands along with Katie Dreke on Wednesday (29th).
Fear City x
It was the Surbiton summer fete this weekend, conveniently right outside our flat. We were really lucky with the weather.
I Probably Need A Stamp Card
I was joking with the endoscopist as she saw me before, back in 2019 that they should have a stamp card program for regulars.
Noticing the Little Things
It’s not that we are living in end of empire times. It’s that things are now in fact ending.
Kill Time
I’m really excited about the new version of Kill Team.
Mark’s IE6 Metaverse
I can’t belive Facebook showed off the wonders of VR by using a bland cartoon meeting room. Utterly ridiculous. The IE6 of the Metaverse.
Summer Chalk 2021
I went back to the chalk for 5 nights for my dads Birthday this week. It was good.
This Speaks for Itself
I had mentally prepared a whole rant about how we’re all doomed, DOOMED.
Yeah, That Badge I Wear
Further to yesterdays podcast on the “Friend to All Nations” tragedy. I’ve been shelpping a bag of assorted 1″ buttons from a gig 13 years ago.
Birthday!
Another spin around the sun. Another year older and uglier. Cannot wait to leave this 12th house year
An Experience I Do Not Wish to Repeat
Well … Covid was an experience I do not wish to repeat. I still don’t feel 100% but I’m back in the land of the living.
It Was Only a Matter of Time
I’m writing this on my phone in bed-feeling pretty grotty. Luckily for you though, I start my Weeknotes on Wednesdays.
Sun’s Out
I can’t believe its July already. The weeks and months are absolutely flying by at warp speed. Where has the year gone?
Skill Acquisition
I’ve had a weird week. It’s consisted of lurching from one small thing to another. Never settling on anything for more than 5/10mins.
On Memetic Engines
I was asked to post the current working definition of a ‘Memetic Engine’ from my Intonal 2021 Talk ‘The Future Is A Vibe’.
Out The Woods
Going to the woods was fucking great. Having no phone signal and no internet for a week was fucking great.
