i wd've thought eBooks might be the way to go in terms of stress vs accessibility?

Woebot's just published an eBook of his blog writings:

I also saw that today. Have a lot of respect for young Matt Woebot; unlike me, he gets off his backside and gets things done. I should follow his example.

I wouldn't now publish CoM as a book because on the rare occasions I look at it now I just put my head in my hands and sigh: "Did I REALLY think that ten years ago?" But I'm sure TPL, given the right sort of push, would.

Here he is with the classic "Poème Électronique." Good track (Marcello Carlin), Thursday, 10 January 2013 14:46 (eleven years ago) link

Speaking purely from a reader's POV, I'd prefer a physical copy, because a TPL book would have future value as a reference work. I imagine it would feel trickier to dip back into an e-book.

maybe you can draw strength from the fact that you won’t be dying alone up there

I shazammed something a few days ago that I thought might be some sort of clever disco throwback song but it turned out to be "Children of Paradise" by Boney M. I'd never heard that.

An updated (but still credited) version of "Rasputin" is currently #21 in the UK singles charts:

(Oh, and Bimini Bon-Boulash from UK Drag Race S2 is in the video)

I hear this version of Rasputin in the wild every time I leave my house now (not that often but still)
