Craig Mod is an artist, author, and photographer who has lived in Japan for 25 years, chronicling the country through thousands of miles of recent solo walks. We explore walking as inner cartography—a practice that transforms attention into meaning. We discuss Craig's journey from his best friend's murder in Connecticut to finding home in Tokyo, the ineffable Japanese concept of "yōyū," reconciling adoption trauma through movement, and how 300-mile walks without digital distraction became his path to healing. His story takes a stunning turn when these walks ultimately lead him back to meet his birth mother at 42. Craig transforms heavy into light. And this conversation reveals how. Enjoy!

Walking is an invitation to slow down and notice change. Because everything changes and becomes new, from objects to relationships says photographer, writer and walker Craig Mod. He takes us along for a solo journey across an ancient pilgrimage route in rural Japan where young people are leaving and populations are shrinking. Through conversations with fishermen, innkeepers, and café owners, he explores memory, identity, and how walking can quietly reshape how we understand who we are. His book is called Things Become Other Things A Walking Memoir.
Craig Mod is a writer, walker and photographer based in Japan. He has lived there for over 20 years and I love this work. If anything the podcast is proof to me that if you follow folks for long enough you'll eventually find a way to work together. Craig has a new book coming out next week so now seemed like the perfect time to sit down with him to discuss making images, leaning into limitations and the importance of focus when making. More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.
303 | Craig Mod Craig Mod the author of Things Become Other Things: A Walking Memoir joins us to share his story. We deep dive into Craig's recent reunion with his birthmother including the complexities of searching in the digital age when so much of our information is publicly available. Being fairly new to adoptee-land, Craig also gave Haley a chance to talk through some of the things that complicate the usual sunshine and rainbows view of adoption. Update - Craig will join us for our July book club when we will be reading Things Become Other Things. We do make reference to sexual assault briefly at a couple of different points during this episode, so please take care when deciding if this a safe episode for you to listen to.

Craig Mod is a writer and photographer who has two newsletters, Roden and Ridgeline. His new book is Things Become Other Things. “There'll be days where … I'm doing a walk and I'll just be like, I don't know what is going to move me today. And then out of the blue, there'll be this small interaction that when you really pay attention to it, it contains kind of this universe of kindness and patience that you otherwise pass by or ignore. If you're in the general mode of looking at things and then being able to take that experience and try to transmute it into an essay for the evening and send it out, it just develops your eye. You just start being able to look more and more and more closely.” Show notes: craigmod.com Things Become Other Things (Fine art edition • 2023 // Hardcover edition • Random House • 2025) Roden (Newsletter) Ridgeline (Newsletter) 1:00 Mod on Longform Podcast 6:30 Koya Bound: Eight Days on the Kumano Kodō (with Dan Rubin • PRE/POST • 2016) 16:00 Kiiiiiiiiiiiiii 16:00 Special Projects (Newsletter) 20:00 Kissa by Kissa (2020) 31:00 Pachinko Road (Pop Up Newsletter) 32:00 "I Walked 600 Miles Across Japan for Pizza Toast" (Eater • Dec 2019) 32:00 "The Glorious, Almost-Disconnected Boredom of My Walk in Japan" (Wired • May 2019) 45:00 Longform Podcast #533: Hua Hsu (May 2023) Learn more about your ad choices.

Show Notes: eBike Bill Some state lawmakers in California want to require unlicensed ebike users to get a special “ebike license” (online test + written test) and undergo a training program (with DMV and State Highway Patrol). The bill is targeted at teenagers who do not have a regular driver's license. It would also ban children under the age of 12 from riding ebikes. Assembly Member Tasha Boerner explained that the creation of a driver's license for previously unlicensed e-bike riders is a matter of safety (represents Encinitas) Lyft Gives Up Lyft (“a taxi company” - what a dig!) is looking to quit bike- and scooter-sharing and seeking buyers. Despite being the largest bike-share operator in North America, Lyft's CEO recently said the company isn't doing a good enough job directing bikeshare riders to taxi trips.(Who writes shit in blog posts anymore?) “If what is in that WSJ story is true,” said David Zipper, a Visiting Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School who studies urban mobility, “it suggests there may be a conflict of interest that is irreconcilable between bikeshare and ridehail.” Bolt still growing Estonian TNC Bolt is beefing up its scooter fleet, increasing its spending on new vehicles by 10x between 2020 and 2022. 200k vehicles in 200 cities.

Tokyo-based journalist Craig Mod is part journalist, part ethnographer, and part performance artist, and we're really happy that he stopped by the studio for a lively chat. While he may not be a household name (yet), those in the know about such topics as digital book publishing, Japan, and multiday walks around Japan respect Craig's incredible body of work. This is a wide and deep conversation about food trends in Japan, where you should visit in the country outside Tokyo, and Craig's unique style of publishing—all based around his Special Projects membership program. It was such a pleasure to get to know Craig Mod, and we hope you enjoy this conversation.

Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne, der uns beschützt und der uns hilft. Es sei denn, man hat es nicht mit einem neuen Anfang, sondern mit dem Ende des Endes zu tun. Die Geschichte kehrt zurück, postulieren drei junge Podcaster in ihrem Buch. "Das Ende des Endes der Geschichte" nimmt natürlich Bezug auf Francis Fukuyama, allerdings mit dem Anspruch, ihn gelesen und verstanden zu haben. Wir vergegenwärtigen es uns heute alles und überprüfen die Spontanhistorisierung der Autoren auf ihren Gehalt. Wir finden viel. Ob es uns beschützt und hilft ist aber noch zu diskutieren. Auch mit den Autoren. Selten haben wir eine Streitschrift in den Händen gehalten, der wir weitgehend zustimmen, obwohl sie sich auch gegen uns richtet. Der deutsche Standpunkt ist allerdings ein besonderer. Es ist noch nicht alles verloren. So lesen wir dieses Buch auch als Warnung. Über das Luxus-Buch von Erwan Rambourg sprechen wir nur kurz. Das Maß in dem es auf die Demographie Rücksicht nimmt ist beispielhaft. Außerdem lesen wir Jürgen Habermas` doppelseitigen Vierspalter zum Ukraine-Krieg. Er tobt gewaltsam in Europa, aber auch als emotionale Empörung in uns. Dann wechseln wir in die ruhigste Gegend der Welt, das aussterbende Japan. Der den, laut Craig Mod, schönsten Flecken Kulturlandschaft der Welt nochmal erleben will, sollte jetzt reisen. Die Destination fällt dem Dämon Demographie zum Opfer. Wolfgang hat Madame Nielsens LAMENTO gelesen und ist begeistert von so viel Liebe. Udo Kier erzählt romantische Geschichten von früher. Und Werner Sobek erklärt uns, wie wir zukünfig bauen müssen, damit noch etwas von der Welt übrig bleibt. Das Motto lautet, Umwelt bauen.
Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts / Rate us on Spotify! Do you use Notion for note taking? Or do you prefer something like Google Keep or Apple's Notes app for your notes. Have you ever wondered why you pick one over the other? There are of course a myriad of factors that go into choosing what software you use for work. “Speed” (of the software) tends to be one such important factor in our opinion. Listen in on this week's Frndship Time to know more about why we think so while we go over one of Ratik's favourite essays on the topic of the speed of software: Fast Software, the Best Software by Craig Mod.

Craig has spent large chunks of the past several years walking across Japan, completing months-long journeys along the country's historical walking routes, like the Tokaido, the Nakasendo and the Kumano Kodo. As he goes, he documents his experiences, sharing essays and photographs through his member-supported newsletters, and his books, Koya Bound and Kissa by Kissa. "Walking is everything." he says. And if you've got the time and the inclination to do it, it is the best way to come to know the country, from beautifully preserved shrines and forests to the messier parts of suburban reality — pachinko parlors and all.

Have you ever thought about whether the world is a good place or a bad place? In episode 12, Brady Forrest interviews Hugh Howey, acclaimed author of the science fiction story Wool and the Silo Series of novels, which wrestle with this central question. Hugh explains how processing his darkest emotions led to his most successful story. He also shares what it's like to sail around the world using nothing but the stars and signs of nature, which he wrote about for his Wayfinding series. Brady compares solo-sailing on long voyages to silent meditation retreats (Hugh recommends Craig Mod's write-up on the subject). Hugh also tells us how his privacy was violated on a global scale. Scammers used his photos to create thousands of fake online dating profiles, and this violation still follows him around today (he recently got a call from the FBI). What would you do if your face became famous without your consent?
When the pandemic hit, we all found ourselves in a terrible new reality wondering what comes next. Imagine for a moment being stuck in an unfamiliar city and not knowing when you'll be able to leave and return home. Well, that's what happened to my guest on today's show, photographer Wesley Verhoeve. For him home was Brooklyn and Amsterdam, but when the pandemic hit, he found himself in Vancouver, British Columbia. With no regular photography gigs on the horizon, like many of us he found himself heading out for daily walks in his neighborhood. Those walks were a catalyst that led him to start a new photography project. Over the course of 123 days he walked 307 hours and made 34,194 images using a variety of cameras and film stocks. All of that work evolved into a new book called 'Notice.' It's a beautiful meditation on walking photography and mindfulness. The book was designed by photographer and designer Dan Rubin, and has an essay by walker and writer extraordinaire Craig Mod. So it really all comes together nicely with this talented team in a beautiful way. I first learned about Wesley's work through his newsletter called Process, which came as a recommendation through Substack. And unbeknownst to me, he was also following my newsletter. So we had this nice connection established. I hope you enjoy our conversation and learning about Wesley's career and fabulous new book. I'm a photographer and consultant from Saint Cloud, Minnesota.

In this week's episode, I review the new photography app Glass and why you might want to look to newsletters instead. After digging through my boxes of photobooks, I pulled out Raising Frogs for $$$ by Jason Fulford, and made some revelations, and forgot about others. In the walking segment of the show, I share my views on what I consider a long walk, and how those relate to our perception and experience of time. I wrap up with tidbits about Lionel Messi's walking strategy and a brilliant quote by walker, writer and thinker Craig Mod.

Terwijl de wereld vergaat, hebben wij goed nieuws voor zij die niet genoeg kunnen krijgen van ons geouwehoer. Vanaf nu publiceren we dat op wekelijkse basis. Daarbovenop nemen we twee keer per maand een interview op. Netto winst: meer lijstjes-afleveringen met alleen ons twee.

Craig explores the fusion of the digital and analogue worlds. A change is coming. The book is about to meet the digital world and an interesting convergence is going to happen.At this point, the definition of the book will be up for grabs. The book will go beyond just being a book. This is a unique convergence point for things digital and analogue. Because of this, right now is a very exciting time to be involved with storytelling.Some of the potential gains are edgier, riskier books in a digital form born from a lower barrier-to-entry to publish; new modes of storytelling; less environmental impact and a rise in importance of editors. And, yes — paradoxically — a marked increase in the quality of things that do get printed. The iPad presents a new canvas. And we're going to see new forms of storytelling emerge.This is an opportunity to redefine modes of conversation between reader and content. And that's one hell of an opportunity if making content is your thing.—Recorded live at the global event in Cardigan, west Wales in 2010.Watch Craig's full talk here: www.thedolectures.com/talks/craig-mod-whats-the-future-of-the-book-in-the-ipad-era
We've been financing good writing with bad advertising -- and "attention monsters" (to quote Craig Mod) for way too long. So what happens when the technology for creators finally falls into place? We're finally starting to see shift in power away from publications as the sole gatekeepers of talent, towards individual writers. Especially when the best possible predictor of the value of a piece of writing is, well, the writer. The publication's brand is no longer the guarantee of quality, or the only entity we should be paying and be loyal to, when a new ecosystem is forming around the direct relationship between consumers, content creators, and the tools and business models to facilitate all this.So where do readers come in... how do they find signal in the noisy world of drive-by billboard advertising, "attention-monster" feeds, and the death of Google Reader? Particularly as machine learning-based translation, summarization, and other mediums beyond text increasingly enter our information diets, for better and for worse?This episode of the a16z Podcast features Robert Cottrell, formerly of The Economist and Financial Times and now editor of The Browser (which selects 5 pieces of writing worth reading delivered daily); Chris Best, formerly CTO of Kik and now co-founder and CEO of Substack (a full-stack platform for independent writers to publish newsletters, podcasts, and more); and Andrew Chen, formerly independent blogger/ newsletter publisher, now also an a16z general partner investing in consumer -- all in conversation with Sonal Chokshi. The discussion is all about writing and reading... but we're not just seeing this phenomenon in newsletters and podcasting, but also in people setting up e-commerce shops, video streaming, and more. Is it possible that the stars, the incentives, are finally aligning between creators and consumers? What happens next, what happens when you get more than -- and even less than -- "1000 true fans"? image: Thad Zajdowicz/ Flickr

On this walk along a section of the Camino in Spain I'm with Craig Mod ( https://craigmod.com/ ). He's a fantastic writer with some amazing content on walking (hikes) which you should check out... maybe start with his Review of Beds which is fun :) Anyway, in this chat we discuss Craig's various hikes through Japan and some of his observations on their varied culture. We also talk about his evolution from film cameras to ultimately opting for Leica as his main travel companion.

Drew is intrigued by Craig Mod’s SMS-powered publishing. It’s both old-school and utterly new and strange. Likewise, the ascendancy of email newsletters is baffling, given how we’ve all come to feel about our email inboxes, but it also makes total sense. What technologies should one use to publish things anymore? Where is the line between communication and publishing? Want to be internet friends?

Today I’d like to chat about email for a few minutes. I read a very interesting article last week by Mike Isaac from the San Francisco bureau of the New York Times, titled “The New Social Network That Isn’t New at All.” In the article, Isaac writes: “My favorite new social network doesn’t incessantly spam me with notifications. When I post, I’m not bombarded with @mentions from bots and trolls. And after I use it, I don’t worry about ads following me around the web. “That’s because my new social network is an email newsletter. Every week or so, I blast it out to a few thousand people who have signed up to read my musings. Some of them email back, occasionally leading to a thoughtful conversation. It’s still early in the experiment, but I think I love it. “The newsletter is not a new phenomenon. But there is a growing interest among those who are disenchanted with social media in what the writer Craig Mod has called “the world’s oldest networked publishing platform.” For us, the inbox is becoming a more attractive medium than the news feed.” Read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/19/technology/new-social-network-email-newsletter.html Isaac goes on at length about how many of us are moving away from social networks in favor of more private modes of sharing: such as a Slack group instead of a tweet; or an encrypted Signal message instead of a status update. I also read an interesting article last week about how kids in classrooms are chatting to each other inside of Google Docs—which is now the 21st century equivalent of passing paper notes around and trying not to get caught. But the article is mostly about the virtues of the inbox. And say what you will about spam and all that, the lowly email inbox is still vitally important, especially for marketing and sales purposes. If you’ve been neglecting the email channel, now may be a great time to revisit your strategy.

Craig Mod is a writer and photographer. His podcast is On Margins. “You pick up an iPad, you pick up an iPhone—what are you picking up? You’re picking up a chemical-driven casino that just plays on your most base desires for vanity and ego and our obsession with watching train wrecks happen. That’s what we’re picking up and it’s counted in pageviews, because—not to be reductive and say that it’s a capitalist issue, but when you take hundreds of millions of dollars of venture capital, and you’re building models predicated on advertising, you are gonna create fucked-up algorithms and shitty loops that take away your attention. And guess what? You need to engage with longform texts. You need control of your attention. And so I think part of what subverted our ability to find this utopian reading space is the fact that so much of what’s on these devices is actively working to destroy all of the qualities needed to create that space.” Thanks to MailChimp for sponsoring this week's episode. @craigmod craigmod.com Criag Mod on Longform [01:15] Flipboard [01:26] On Margins [02:40] "Roden Explorer's Club," Craig Mod's Newsletter [09:30] McSweeney’s [20:30] "Embracing the Digital Book" (PRE/POST • April 2010) [22:25] Books in the Age of the iPad (PRE/POST • 2012) [25:30] Post Artifact Books & Publishing (PRE/POST • 2011) [43:10] Primitive Technology
Flying with children is a challenge for any parent, but there are ways to make long-haul flights with kids into a more enjoyable experience. I've been traveling with children since 2002 when my son was still a baby. Read on to hear our advice for flying with children and more. TIPS: FLYING WITH CHILDREN In this episode of Epic Education Radio, I talk about flying with children and how to make it the best travel day possible. Our experience flying with children started soon after my son was born in Tokyo in 2002. I had produced the first grandchild, and my parents lived in Atlanta Georgia. There was no way I was going to keep them away from their grandson! Long-Haul Flights with Kids Flights between Tokyo and Atlanta took around 14 hours...and that's if it was a direct flight! We often had layovers, which were cheaper, so you can imagine that it was a very, very long day flying with a baby. My daughter was born in 2006, so then we were flying with two children. Tokyo was home until 2013, and with each year came more flights with kids: to the United States, to Thailand, to Bali, and to Mexico. We learned a lot about flying with children during that time, and then we left for long-term travel in 2013. Lots of long-haul flights with kids since then. Below are a few tips from my big "flying with children" post, in audio form, with a little commentary below. [toc] Before You Fly: Flying with Children One of the most important tips for flying with toddlers and other young kids is to make travel day a special day. Build excitement. This may mean giving special toys, snacks or other items that aren't part of the normal routine. If flying with teens or tweens, then skip the toys and offer up new books on their Kindles or new games/apps for devices. Practice Travel Day: Long-haul Flights with Kids Prepare your kids for a long travel day. Help them understand what's going to happen and the importance of your family working as a team to get to your destination. If you're new to flying with children, then it may be worthwhile to practice travel day. Do some role play. Pretend to be the security officer or the immigration official. Model how they are to act and react in these situations. Family Flight Times: Flying with Children Many family travelers advise trying to schedule flights during a child's normal sleeping hours. This is good advice, but there are times when we choose to do something different. When we're on long-haul flights that cross numerous time zones, the time of arrival is more important to us than the departure time. For us, we prefer to arrive in the late afternoon at our destination. That way we can be drop off our stuff in our accommodation and then still have a few hours in the sun before bedtime. I think getting some sun helps reset our circadian rhythms faster, and it's worked well for us so far. Packing for Long-Haul Flights with Kids Our most important packing tip for long-haul-flights with children is to pack one set of clothes for every member of the family. That includes you. Lots of things can happen when flying with children so make sure that if something messy happens, you have something to change into. Believe me, I know. I also mention that we feel it's best to pack completely the day before your flight and check the weight of your luggage before you go. A small, portable luggage scale can save stress and hundreds of dollars over the course of its use. When you add tags to your luggage, always remember to add more than your home address and home phone number. If you're traveling, then you aren't at home, right. Add your email address, twitter or skype handle, etc. At the Airport: Flying with Children Tips Are you ready for our top advice for flying with children? Here it is: get to the airport early. Really early. Flying with children is a time-consuming process anyway, but many stressful moments are avoided if you simply arrive at the airport three hours early. Or even earlier. Since you've arrived early, now you have time to let the kids lead you through the airport to the gate. This is a great way to teach some real-life skills. Show them your gate number and how to navigate the airport signage. Then let them take you to the gate. If they go off track, steer them in the right direction, of course, but you have time. On the Plane: Long-Haul Flights with Kids We think it's important to secure your seats and get airplane blankets and pillows right away.This goes double for long-haul flights with kids. Any extra warmth and cushion should be welcomed. Make sure your go-to bag with the essentials (including Kindles, games, tissue and spare clothes) are all within reach and not in the overhead compartment. You may need them when there is turbulence or when the plan is taking off or landing. Set your watch to the time of your destination. This helps get your mind in the time zone where you'll arrive. If your kids don't have a watch, buy them a cheap one for travel days, and set it for the destination as well. Finally, when on a long-haul flight with children, we highly suggest sleeping when the kids are sleeping. That way, you'll be less groggy when they wake mid-flight for a trip to the toilet. After You Land: Long-Haul Flights With Kids Our final tips for flying with children are pretty straightforward: drink lots of water and have your accommodation booked ahead of time. Everyone will be sleepy and dehydrated after a long-haul family flight. Drink up, and get to your accommodation quick. Drop off your stuff and go run around and tire the kids out for their first night's sleep in your destination. Any Other Long-Haul Flight Tips? These are just a few of the tips I mention in our big post, but these are the tips I talk about in this episode. There are many others. What's your best tip for flying with children?

Physically preserving the contents of the web: in the second and final installment of their conversation with Craig Mod, Paul and Rich talk to the writer, designer, and technologist about his new book and about the writing platform hi.co, the entire contents of which will be printed on a tiny nickel plate and archived in the Library of Congress. They also answer a listener question about Paul’s anxiety—or, in his words, “brain space shenanigans”—and whether the frequent subject of Paul’s writing has any bearing on Postlight’s business.
Traveling the world with Craig Mod: in the first of a two-part conversation, Paul and Rich talk to the writer, designer, and technologist about his upbringing, his early relationships with computers, and strategy tips for walking through forests. They also take a question from a listener worried over what to do when your values don’t align with the values of your client—or your employer.

In this episode we cover a schism in digital media that traditional publishing has unwittingly played into. Baldur explains what it is that makes people the most angry at him. Moonshots versus Infrastructure. Digital media Reaganomics Brute force effort versus building automation Baldur agrees with a Nazi (von Braun). Changes require infrastructure. Trickle-down economics don’t build roads. Without open source and open standards we’d still be stuck in the CD-ROM model. Paradigm clashes are messy. Touchpress. Editions at Play. Creative people doing clever things. Reviewing the story, not the innovation. On not releasing the APIs. Preventing people from copying or building on Edition at Play. The danger of building one-off infrastructure replacements. Disposable scaffolding versus roads and waterworks. Praise for Inkle. Praise for FailBetter/FundBetter. Hybrid models are possible if infrastructure is the end goal. Baldur’s problem with Readium. What does this dichotomy mean for publishers? What is a publisher in print? What is a publisher in digital? End-to-end integration is very hard to pull off in digital. Choose a focus: author or audiences. Audience aggregators versus production aggregators. Publishers act as if authors were completely fungible. Foundation labour in publishing is brittle. Using Unbound as a case study: a social capital converter. Trade publishers don’t have that clarity yet. The two potential models. Authors, unfortunately, need social capital. The obligatory Craig Mod reference. Create a clear value proposition for either the author or the audience. Patreon as premium LiveJournal communities. Why it is big and getting bigger. Baldur forgot Erika Moen’s name despite reading her work for over a decade. Patreon as a pure audience aggregator that’s agnostic about the content format. Disconnecting the business model from the production model results in creative freedom. Bolting book retail model on web artefacts. Subscription requires a clear and concrete value proposition. How do you get to the point where you’re covering your costs? Patreon only works if you do like Dave Sim did with Cerebus: deliver on your promises, consistently and reliably. (All of Dave Sim’s other weirdnesses are decidedly optional.) The ‘Print is Great’ worldview hinders all digital efforts. How Baldur could fund the purchase of the cheapest iPad Mini. ‘Toxic’ is relative. Amazon’s asymmetric bet with the Kindle. Print is viable in the long term, just not interesting to Baldur. Warning! Contains ums, aws, and wobbly arguments. Play the episode in your browserYour browser does not support the audio element.

While a lot of newspapers in the grownup world are struggling to get by, one kind of newspaper is doing kind of ok thank you. In France, Germany and the UK children's newspapers are going strong, mailed out to a waiting audience of school-age children. Saffron Howden is launching "Crinkling" April, a kids' newspaper in Australia and she's ready to tell us all about the workings of these junior newspapers. Links from this episode: Crinkling launches in April. Have a look at their pre-launch stories or subscribe. You might also want to read their story on whether whether Syrian refugees get to go to school. There are all sorts of kids newspapers around the world. Mon Quotidien, publisher of two other kids' titles in France, Le Petit Quotidien and L'Actu. First News is an English language, UK newspaper that a lot of adults seem to read as well. Germany's Kruschel is also pretty cool (in German). Mon Quotidien's Paris coverage actually published an English version (PDF). The New York Times tells you a little more about how they make that paper. Who was that Craig Mod guy? Zacha wrote about him at Concrete Playground.

In this one we cover the following thingamajigs: Baldur talks about what it feels like to anticipate that the mainstream will coincide with your interests but then watching it go into a different direction. Three different directions, to be specific. Craig Mod’s article. (And the coda he posted on his website, which you should also read.) Fahrenheit Press’s audience engagement. Xcode playgrounds. Involving the reader. Breaking out of the insular. Any involvement of the reader is experimental. Singing the praises of Sam Missingham. The value of making deliberate mistakes. Mistakes, not failure. Singing the praises of Inkle Studios. The big risk that publishers are taking. May contain swearing.

《Becoming Steve Jobs》，一次高明的黑客事件以及相关的 UI 设计问题，苹果在中国开设 trade-in 服务，Rio 关于百度/莆田系事件的阴谋论，Facebook F8 开发者大会以及虚拟现实。 每月三十元，支持李如一和 Rio 把《IT 公论》做成最好的科技播客。请访问 itgonglun.com/member。 希望大家喜欢上周五《Becoming Steve Jobs》的书评。这本书里八卦不少，在本周五我会将自己在 Kindle 里划出的段落和大家分享。（当然周五还会有别的内容。） 前天早上我收到了这样一封邮件： 发件人我认识，所共享的文件的名字也与他的职业相关。巫鸿老师是著名艺术史学者，《中国古代艺术与建筑中的「纪念碑性」》一书作者。我毫不怀疑地按下了链接。 咔嚓！出现在浏览器地址栏的并不是 dropbox.com，而是 bitfireinc.com/Dropbox。（别好奇） 我用的电邮客户端是 Mail.app，这里有两个问题：一、在 Safari 里，当我把光标移动到任何一条链接上时，瞬间就能在状态栏（status bar）看到地址。在 Mail 里似乎没有状态栏这种东西，你需要把光标在链接上悬停两秒左右，地址才会出现。除非心疑有诈，通常我不会停留那么久。二、在 Mail 的设置里有一个 Use Smart Addresses 的选项，该选项默认开启。所谓 Smart Addresses，就是对于在你的地址本里的、以及之前你发过信的邮件地址，把地址隐藏起来，只显示姓名。上图就是 Smart Addresses 开启后的效果。若把这一项关闭则会是这样： 相信聪明的各位已经看出，Smart Addresses 并不那么 smart。至少，这个功能的设计者认为你还不够 smart，非把那个中间含有莫名其妙的「@」符号的字串隐藏起来不可。这一藏就带出了安全隐患。真正的 Dropbox 通知邮件的发件地址并不是那个分享文件的人的地址，而是统一的 no-reply@dropbox.com: 在这里我们遇到了一个非常棘手的 UI 设计问题。如果你是 Mail.app 的产品经理，究竟 Use Smart Addresses 是否应该设为默认开启？我们可以想像这样一场会议： 正方：把电邮地址完整显示会增加页面上的视觉噪音。只显示姓名整体感觉比较像传统的信件，这与 Mail 整体的设计理念较为符合。别忘了我们的图标上还有邮戳呢。邮戳！ 反方：这会有安全隐患。收件人可能会误判发件人的真实身份。 正方：我们可以设计成让用户点击姓名显示电邮地址。 反方：有没有数据显示有多少人会去点它？有没有做过 A/B 测试？ 正方：其实你就算默认显示邮件地址也没有多少人去看的。另外，你有没有数据证明默认不显示邮件地址会让用户被钓鱼的比例增加多少个百分比？ …… 这样的讨论可以一直继续下去，我们也很难说一方比另一方有理。最终的答案很可能是由负责人的性格和趣味决定的。事实是我这样一个将近十年的 Mail.app 用户也差点中招。这封钓鱼邮件还有别的马脚，例如版权声明处的年份还停留在 2014。但对于内容的兴奋让我放松了警惕，这个社会工程学维度的小细节就不知道是黑客故意为之还是撞彩了。人性和安全性的矛盾在这个案例里体现得淋漓尽致。不管怎么说，大家不要太相信名字里有 smart 的东西就是了。（笑） Facebook 上周开了 F8 开发者大会，虽然关注度远不如 Google 和苹果的同类会议，但其中颇有些好料。Facebook 的平台化野心执行得非常彻底。大受好评的 React Native 框架在技术上把开发者诱离了苹果的技术栈，这次 F8 上和 Facebook Messenger 整合的一批 GIF 动画和表情 app 甚至集体在图标右下角打上了 Facebook Messenger 的那道闪电。接入电商售后服务系统也会让用户增加一个粘在 Facebook Messenger 里的理由。再加上最近传出 Facebook 向近十家媒体提出帮它们托管内容的新闻，这家社交媒体巨鳄显然在朝着微信的「大而全」方向演化。 我们在本期节目里没有提到的是，Facebook 从一开始就在建一张巨大的「局域网」。它所施加的限制不是技术上的，而是产品设计上的。既然不能做到让你无法使用 Facebook 以外的产品，那么就设法做到让你觉得没有必要使用 Facebook 以外的产品。所有巨型互联网公司都想建这样的「Meta 平台」。身为同行的你可以赞叹他们的野心，但身为用户的你不能不对此警醒。 由于收购了 Oculus VR，虚拟现实也成了 Facebook 未来战略的重要组成部分。Zuckerberg 非常简洁地用一张图描绘了分享行为的四个阶段： 对于最后那个尚未到来的阶段，Facebook CTO Mike Schroepfer 和 Oculus VR 首席科学家 Michael Abrash 在他们的演讲中给出了非常精彩的展望。虽然 F8 是面向开发者的大会，但 Abrash 的演讲基本是在科普。他并没有大谈帧率、晕眩和浸入式体验，而是通过大量实例向大家说明，所谓「现实」不过是大脑对于感官收到的外部刺激的一种诠释。用 Jeremy Bailenson 的话说：「所有现实都是虚拟的。」既然如此，戴不戴虚拟现实头盔就只是一个时尚问题，而非哲学问题了。除了下面这幅图外，还可以看我们发在《IT 公论》Instagram 账号的这段视频。下图左右两粒药丸的颜色是一样的： 这是我听过的关于虚拟现实最具说服力的演讲之一，非常推荐认为虚拟现实只是镜花水月的朋友收看。 我们最近在玩的 app 张爱玲《少帅》 Filters for iPhone 最近我们读的一些文章 苹果开发者道路以目？ GNU 宣言三十岁了 库哈斯说大家对城市太缺乏想像力 相关链接 Dexcom SCiO 《Revolution in the Valley》 Folklore.org Paul King Paul King 回答「在 NeXT 工作是怎样一种体验？」 《中国古代艺术与建筑中的「纪念碑性」》 百度 CDN 被利用來对 GitHub 进行 DDoS Craig Hockenberry 被 drive-by DDoS 攻击的经历 EastSouthWestNorth Facebook F8 Google.app Craig Mod Facebook CTO Mike Schroepfer 和 Oculus VR 首席科学家 Michael Abrash 在 2015 年的 F8 上关于虚拟现实的演讲 人物简介 李如一：字节社创始人。 Rio: Apple4us 程序员。

We need to decouple the idea of 'book' from the mental image we carry around of 'book.' The innovation and benefit that digital brings to books and publishing lies less in how digital affects final artifacts, and more in how digital affects the systems leading up to and extending beyond those artifacts. Craig Mod is a writer, designer, publisher and developer concerned with the future of publishing & storytelling. In 2010 he founded publishing think tank PRE/POST. He is co-author, designer and publisher of Art Space Tokyo. He is also co-founding editor and engineer behind TPUTH.com, co-founder and developer of the story telling project Hitotoki, and frequent collab o rator with Infor mation Archi tects, Japan. He’s lived in Tokyo for almost a decade and speaks frequently on the future of books and media. He is the worst speller you will ever meet."
