<li>
<p>IDEAS:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>the act of love</p>
<p>one must truly love computing to do good computing.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ol start="2">
<li>
<p>computing is art</p>
<p>Mierle Laderman Ukeles: "Everything I say is Art is Art. Everything I do is Art is Art."
further:
"We have no Art, we try to do everything well. (Balinese saying)."</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ol start="3">
<li>
<p>grounded approach</p>
<p>computing is not an isolated act. one must keep in touch with humanities: art, history, culture, etc.
one
cannot build something good for the world, not knowing the world.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ol start="4">
<li>
<p>the living document</p>
<p>times change. people change. code changes. information is living. information should be allowed to die
and fade away. information comes from from everyone.
it's a
developing story.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ol start="5">
<li>
<p>camp in computing</p>
<p>there must be space for fun and quirkyness. for doing something that is superfluous. not everything
needs
to
have an end goal. the superfluous elevates the mundane and makes it joyous.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ol start="6">
<li>
<p>actualisation of humanist values</p>
<p>computing is for people. people use computers. people use computers to make more art. people use
computers
to
talk to one another. people use computers to cope. people use computers to write. people use computers
to
write
software. people use computers to design hardware. computing is for people.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>
<p>BALANCES:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>getting things done/having fun</p>
<p>it is important to account for the scale of time. to do things well, but to also complete. there is
time
for
development (actualisation), and there is time for maintenance and repair (care). it is too easy to
discard
things, to move on to the next thing, but it is also bad to be stuck on one problem.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ol start="2">
<li>
<p>gift-giving/self-care</p>
<p>the only way to improve the world is by giving gifts with no strings attached. however, to be able to
give
gifts, one must take care of themselves and avoid burnout. social support and proper compensation is
paramount,
while still protecting oneself from greed.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ol start="3">
<li>
<p>doing/doing nothing</p>
<p>sometimes one has to do nothing to do something. truly nothing.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ol start="4">
<li>
<p>openness/resilience</p>
<p>open cultures and spaces/clubs and friend networks. the bazaar/the cathedral. in extending love to
others
outside, but still protecting and cultivating the microcultures, the small-scale social bonds.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ol start="5">
<li>
<p>the new/the old</p>
<p>architectures that are old are new again. architectures which are new become old. things which have
stuck
around may have stuck around for a reason. things that are new are not automatically good. things that
are
old
are not automatically good. things that are new may stick around for a reason.</p>
