10 years of fitful portal tracing
::: wood s lot ::: was one of the first blogs I read waaaaay back in the day. This week Mark Woods celebrates 10 years of bringing the finest in 20th century art, poetry abd ideas.
How many of you were around when Euan Semple raised the money to save the s lot in 2002, when Mark needed a new computer to keep posting? That was the first example for my of the kindness of the blogosphere.
Congrats Mark, for handrolling a stunning resource, week after week. Thanks for all your work.
One of my first blogs, too- and one I have consistently enjoyed over the years. It is a quiet spot of beauty in a noisy web.
One of mine as well, and I’d nearly forgotten (although how could I!) Euan’s role there. God how strange –and how wonderful–to think then that a decade hence there’d be this note, and that wood s lot (in such sweet contrast to so much of the net) would have kept growing more beautiful and rich each year.
Thank you, Chris, for this reminder.
