Utterly agreed, @GlennMicallef. 👏
A delight to see Michael there representing the team.

Great to have this exhibition on display in Europe. The projects showcased are from all around the globe and the effort to assemble it was truly international.
As @brianeno/@dark_shark and #BetteA put it: "art makes feelings happen". This is vital if we are to be #goodancestors.

Thinking of @Maintain_hive & @The_Maintainers during Danah Abdulla's #RSD11 keynote this morning.

[Long Now London @LongNowLdn]

An excellent #openspace #unconference at @ChathamHouse around the "How can we enable humanity and the planet to thrive together in the long term?" with a good scattering of familiar faces alongside fascinating new voices.
Thanks to @CH_Accelerator & @improbable1 for hosting.

It will be good to be back on the hill with hammer in hand.

This @TheAtlantic piece about experiments by @charlescockell and several others does a good job of mentioning many of the maintenance and futureproofing questions that come up regularly for us.

Went down an enjoyable link trail over Zoom coffee with @cparreno14 last week.
Started with @tomgauld's "Two Rocks Converse" from 2010.

(providing the @longnow link because Mr Gauld's original tweet linked to a since-rotted Flickr address)

[Christopher Daniel @polysemic]

Listening to @asifkhan_now on @_blndrfld's #ScaffoldPodcast and greatly appreciating the mentions of #ChristopherAlexander, #KeithCrichlow and @stewartbrand within the first five minutes.

Great to see @StewartBrandDoc on the big screen last night. Thanks @MaximHarper for the invitation and to the team at @stripepress for hosting.
The excellent conversations afterwards made me think I might have another go at using Twitter more. Probably not though.

[Benjamin Yeoh @benyeohben]

If you could ask the UK public 3 questions in a poll, what would they be? (I've bought these from the brilliant @JoeTwyman at the excellent @DeltapollUK ) - Erm, becuase twitter polls are not real polls, right...
