"Everything stated or expressed by man is a note in the margin of a completely erased text."
cylebot poetry #201
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
Solidity of bark, leaf or wall
In our empty rooms
With a dead sound on the final stroke of nine.
"I must confess, however, I’m in the pro-bubble camp, and while reading the Branch debate, I found myself jumping up and down with counter arguments on why we actually are in a bubble. And, since I’ve taken a two week vacation from this column, I figured I’d come back with a vengeance, and cogently lay out all the arguments and counter arguments. I’ll start off by promising the anti-bubble posse that I will barely mention Instagram at all, and when I do, it will be only in a tangental manner. I promise."
I wrote 9,000 words about bubbles. I couldn’t stop. Honestly I could have done like 5,000 more, but this is the internet, no one reads stuff this long. It felt good, though. Cathartic, really.

This is pretty fantastic. I’ve been waiting for someone to write a lengthy, reasoned explanation one way or another. I’m on the pro-bubble side, but the only real thing I’ve had as a “reason” is my gut instinct and my experiences seeing how people in the field my age respond to how things are going in the tech/social/mobile world. Irrational exuberance.

"In terms of user experience (insider jargon: “UX”), Facebook is like an NYPD police van crashing into an IKEA, forever — a chaotic mess of products designed to burrow into every facet of your life. The company is also technologically weird. For example, much of the code that runs the site is written in a horrible computer language called PHP, which stands for nothing you care about. Millions of websites are built with PHP, because it works and it’s cheap to run, but PHP is a programming language like scrapple is a meat. Imagine eating two pounds of scrapple every day for the rest of your life — that’s what Facebook does, programming-wise. Which is just to say that Facebook has its own way of doing things that looks very suspect from the outside world — but man, does it work."
