    We want it to be seen that an incorrect calculation can come to give a correct product, they explain from Bodegas Alcardet, which add that we understand that unexpected things can happen. Thus, they explain that the grape with which they then make their product is exposed to a different climate, to a changing environment - and hence the idea of reflecting that calculation whose sum does not give the final result, but that once it is taken there is what was wanted.

    Huffington Post ES, translated so it might read a bit weird

    From the manufacturer of the wine:

    Correctness is not always an exact operation, just ask Alexander Fleming, the father of penicillin, or Marie Curie, the creator of radioactivity, whose fortuitous discoveries were made possible by unforeseen factors.

    Today, oenology is a mixture of tradition with experimentation and technological innovation. At Bodegas Alcardet we consider Correcto a wine far from all calculations. Its success lies in the winemaker’s freedom to combine the benefits of success and failure.

    We flee from the precision that sometimes oppresses us and focus on the subjectivity of the unexpected. The essence is not always found in perfection but in the error that changes everything and makes it unique and special.

    The Wonderful Mistake

    As for the number significance, who knows? They never explained the specifics from what I could find.












  • Sherry Turkle’s book “Life on the Screen” was an amazing read back in 1997

    The blurb:

    Life on the Screen: Identity in the Age of the Internet is a book not about computers, but about people and how computers are causing us to reevaluate our identities in the age of the Internet. We are using life on the screen to engage in new ways of thinking about evolution, relationships, politics, sex, and the self. Life on the Screen traces a set of boundary negotiations, telling the story of the changing impact of the computer on our psychological lives and our evolving ideas about minds, bodies, and machines. What is emerging, Turkle says, is a new sense of identity—as decentered and multiple. She describes trends in computer design, in artificial intelligence, and in people’s experiences of virtual environments that confirm a dramatic shift in our notions of self, other, machine, and world. The computer emerges as an object that brings postmodernism down to earth.

    A good look at the sociology and psychology of the early internet and how it has potential to impact in both positive and negative ways.







  • The bots and scrapers are most definitely going after anything and everything - I’ve got about 10+ bots trying to scrape my site every day according to my logs. Quite honestly it shocked me considering I do zero SEO and it’s mostly random shit on my site.

    There’s stuff being developed - ai robots blocklists, ai tar pits, poisoning the images and other media.

    It’s a pita to implement a lot of this however, just for a small personal site.
