Skinny Line

Working on the web is a bizarre business. We create our own ecosystems. Our own worlds. We decided what is in, who is out. For a small period of time, we are our own gods. And then we let the project go into the greater world. And most people shrug. And we move on to the next big thing.

I have now between five and ten newly empty hours a day, and the things I pushed away-seeing friends, writing fiction, eating off of plates-don’t return naturally. The project is gone, taking with it the nearly monastic order it gave to life. In its place there is: one, the need for praise…, two, the sense of failure (all those problems left unsolved, all the rough edges and clutter that you couldn’t distill to simplicity), and three, the sudden awareness of insignificance (all you have done is to turn on another blinking screen among the blinking billions in the media night sky).
