Author, Perfecting Equilibrium: For a brief, shining moment Web1 democratized data. Then Web2 came along and made George Orwell look like an optimist. Now Web3 is Perfecting John Nash’s Information Equilibrium.
Plus the Perfecting Equilibrium Digest for January 6, 2023
Yea I woke up this morning
'Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming
Has finally came true
It's a new day
Welcome to Volume Two
Last month we announced Perfecting Equilibrium would be a new and improved Volume Two in the New Year. We planned to spend the holiday break getting all this organized and launched, but dumbly decided instead to waste the time by spending it sick and abed. Foolishness! Anyway, 2023 has dawned happy and healthy, and we are back at it.
Volume Two, Issue One went out January 3, but we waited until this issue to catch you up, since we traditionally have saved housecleaning for the Digest. And we’ve started getting caught up on the changes: the new logo was in Issue One, and we’ve been updating the branding, landing pages and such on both Substack and LinkedIn.
While Volume One focused on Web3, Volume Two kicks off with a new focus: Where are we on the road from the Industrial Age to the Information Age? How did we get there? And where are we going?
Volume Two also has a new publishing schedule:
The Sunday Reader will kick off January 15th on Substack.

Easter Eggs
Our brain is a peculiar place, especially so when writing. Our brain likes to play word association, and then plays back songs with those words. So these are the songs that were playing during these articles.

I did some shooting a few weeks ago with the Pentax SMC A* 300 f/4 on the Pen-F and…it wasn’t fun. It’s a 600mm on the Pen-F, and it’s VERY front heavy. It really felt like it needed a monopod. So I decided to dig out my trusty old SMC Pentax-M 200 f/4. It’s shorter, sure, but it also has a normal 49mm front element, rather than the giant 72mm on the A*. So far, I’m having fun remembering how to snap focus manual telephotos.
PS: Trying out Substack’s new Gallery feature. Please let me know your thoughts.
Foto.Feola:?I spent the first few decades of my career as a photojournalist, and have continued to shoot ever since. For the last few years I've been contributing photos to Google Maps which have racked up 33 million views, which is in the top 100 world wide. So after I illustrated my first few newsletters with stock pix, I thought sharing my work here made more sense.
