On Bob Miller: HarperStudio Was a Failure
(Some of my best friends make internet, true, and are not Bad To Hang Out With. But in things concerning the future of the book -- really? Engineers & programmers have a proposal? That's where I was doubting w/ you, joe.)

On Bob Miller: HarperStudio Was a Failure
"The only people I know who are doing interesting things in "the future of the book," as it is insistently called, are lapsed engineers and computer programmers. Actually, that would be a blog post right there."
God, that's fucking depressing. (Depressing?) Bring me the freaks in the back of the copyshop that Nash was lauding in his talk, the late night workers at Kinkos who realized that if they had control of the works they could put out stuff whenever -- that the supply problem was no longer a supply -- that the problem is demand/community/audience. You're offering that the most exciting people are the equivalent of the dudes (and ladies) who invented the Xerox machine? That's why I left San Francisco. It used to make sense, as an internet writer, to hang out with the people who made the internet. But why bother now? I hope you know?
