Paul Mison’s random stuff that doesn’t go elsewhere. Is it microblogging, or microactivity?

His words really stuck with me and gave me a lens through which to see the project and its timeliness. None of us think that any of these things are going to end, but of course they are.</span></p> </blockquote>http://notes.husk.org/post/20000668569http://notes.husk.org/post/20000668569Tue, 27 Mar 2012 08:14:00 +01001950s1953contact sheeteiffel towerimageimagesmagnummarc riboudphotographymultiple
