The good old days | Surviving with grace
https://paulbrasington.wordpress.com/2015/05/27/the-good-old-days
The good old days. Posted by Paul Brasington. May 27, 2015. He’s been lucky. He’s smoked heavily since he was a teenager, drunk too much, eats what he wants and hasn’t done any formal exercise since he finished his National Service. And yet this is the first bout of serious illness he’s suffered in his life. We need realism. Patterns of mortality might have changed in the developed nations, but they still define the arc of our lives in one way or another, and it’s good if we can adapt to the changes ...
Like decent human beings | Surviving with grace
https://paulbrasington.wordpress.com/2015/05/06/like-decent-human-beings
Like decent human beings. Posted by Paul Brasington. May 6, 2015. I was in France recently, for work mostly rather than pleasure. I’ve had to speak more French in these few days than I’ve done for decades, and it’s been gratifying to feel that once surrounded by the everyday words and grammar, and forced to use it, my decayed knowledge of the language should revive itself. Then again in France there are still many more small independent enterprises (or so it seems), and a good deal less uniformity in the...
Easter on-message | Surviving with grace
https://paulbrasington.wordpress.com/2015/04/06/easter-on-message
Posted by Paul Brasington. April 6, 2015. It says something about our times that just about the most plangent critiques of the state we’re in are coming not from political leaders but from Pope Francis and the Archbishop of Canterbury. Meanwhile we’re told our prime minister, who has kicked off his election campaign with an unprecedented series of unabashed lies, took his place on Easter morning in church near his home in Oxfordshire. It stands too in opposition to crude materialist or mechanistic views ...
The long con | Surviving with grace
https://paulbrasington.wordpress.com/2015/05/10/the-long-con
Posted by Paul Brasington. May 10, 2015. The success of the Conservatives in the UK’s general election could be seen as a triumph of spin, or its last dying thrash. The future will depend on how well the progressive parties understand their failure, and how a more compelling and realistic narrative of the last forty years could better serve them. It’s a reflection of Britain’s anti-political culture that a referendum four years ago on whether we should move to a fairer electoral system was met with subst...
Minds, machines and business models (1) | Surviving with grace
https://paulbrasington.wordpress.com/2014/01/10/minds-machines-and-business-models-1
Minds, machines and business models (1). Posted by Paul Brasington. January 10, 2014. Neuroscience raises a question about the possible distortions of the models we use to organise and shape our knowledge. With neuroscience it is quickly necessary to think about the relationship between observable brain functions and consciousness. The Brain is Wider than the Sky. Bryan Appleyard argues that the world is mostly complex, and unless we’re very careful, attempts to understand it through (reductive) si...

How Google Autocomplete Doesn’t Work | crossedbox
https://crossedbox.wordpress.com/2015/05/15/how-google-autocomplete-doesnt-work
How Google Autocomplete Doesn’t Work. May 15, 2015. Once a week I come across a story to do with Google’s Autocomplete feature. The one that always seems to provide a weird, funny, or sad insight into our cultures’ secrets. There was this one about how much does x cost around the world. There’s an obvious appeal to these kinds of stories. We fancy them because they offer that kind of snapshot into people’s deepest thoughts. The problem is this is not at all how autocomplete works. Regardless, this also i...

The one that always seems to provide a weird, funny, or sad insight into our cultures’ secrets. There was this one about how much does x cost around the world. Regardless, this also isn’t the point.

Monthly Archives: June 2016. The only way to prevent Brexit is to NOT VOTE. June 9, 2016. Clickbait aside, this is just a thought experiment, but since the polling data implies Leave will win, I thought I’d write about a hypothetical alternative to voting. I’m afraid this thing is a bit rushed, I wrote it on the train and then double checked a few things at lunch, so if my writing or my numbers aren’t as accurate as I aim for, sorry! Polls point to Brexit. As of today (Thursday 9. There were actually som...
Election campaign accountability is at threat from digital advertising | crossedbox

Election campaign accountability is at threat from digital advertising. July 12, 2016. This, perhaps exaggerated, description of a Conman politician is somewhat untenable today. Politicians are followed by journalists who camp outside their houses, posting an unedited stream of tweets articles, clips and garbage. For the politician, strolling through the crowd letting everyone know you’re just like them has to be achieved with vaguely satisfying statements and carefully timed smiles. A hundred cameras fo...
How a tech-boom can destroy a city | crossedbox

How a tech-boom can destroy a city. August 7, 2014. How a tech-boom can destroy a city. I was going to cut this from the intro because I was ranting, and it’s bad blogging practice, but I decided to leave it in.). I live in York, a city that really is like no other. It has huge amounts of wealth, a decent amount of jobs, 350 pubs and bars, a smart and pro-active council, the praises go on. York is, as a Parisian friend put it,. Small and comfortable, but animated. I was excited, then I started to panic.
Forcing the Player’s Hand | crossedbox
https://crossedbox.wordpress.com/2013/08/09/forcing-the-players-hand/comment-page-1
Forcing the Player’s Hand. August 9, 2013. This post belongs to the consideration of shortcomings of computer games to pen and paper games. Not only is this phenomenon frustrating, it’s more disengaging than anything else. It’s a harsh reminder that I’m playing a scripted game, and little more. I’ve been touching on a problem in games, and that’s when the player feels the presence of design (and linearity). I hope to write about this more soon. This entry was posted in Game Design Considerations. The onl...

Digital marketing tools to undermine public scrutiny. July 18, 2016. This is a follow up from my previous article about election accountability. Here I try and explain some of the digital marketing capabilities currently available to politicians and marketers for sneaky-sneaky marketing. They can be broadly categorised as :. Using personal data to identify targets. Tracking and listening to huge amounts of online conversation. Controlling virility of information. Distribution of Ads via algorithms. Faceb...

Un site utilisant WordPress.com. Between worlds, the journey. To live here in the Aude between the high peaks of the Pyrenees and a windswept Mediterranean shore is to feel poised between two worlds. I want to celebrate the enchantment of this place. My creative journey starts in a flowing watercolour style in direct response to the natural landscape but then moves on to bring that style to work on more mediated large canvases completed in the studio.

Paul Braslow | Braslow Scultpure
Tiburon, CA 94920. 2935 Kerner Blvd. #D. San Rafael, CA 94901. Braslow's Sculptures show life as he would like it to be. graceful, elegant and hopeful. They inevitably recall the work of brancusi in their grace, and the work of Giocometti in their intensity. After the first impressions. one reads the sculptures for their strength of balance, and only then the sense of emption becomes apparent and remains the lasting impression.".
