Not a manifesto. I moved the writing off a laptop for two years, and this is a plain account of what improved, what got worse, and what I quietly reversed.
What is in it
- 00:40 The problem, which was not the machine.
- 02:30 Two years of writing longhand first.
- 05:15 What got measurably worse.
- 07:40 The compromise I actually use now.
Made with
- A Vimeo upload, for the people who ask
- One 50mm lens
- Daylight only
I am typing this on a laptop, which is either hypocrisy or the point.
