Homepage：Craig Mod is writing, photographing and walking.
日本、演讲、出版、编辑
Craig is a digital savant in love with the analogue. In code, design, and photography, but mostly through his writing, he explores our collective struggle to find focus in a world of perpetual distraction.(Offscreen Magazine Interview)
如何保存回忆？Craig Mod 徒步的经历过去五年在日本各地长距离徒步
邀请其他人一起徒步，在过程中产生了很多有意义的对话
Flipboard for iPhone 这本书的制作经历Craig Mod 之前在 Flipboard 的团队里工作
Koya Bound 也有一个对应的网站。网站是 instruction，而书是森林、经历与回忆的实体 (https://walkkumano.com)“Somehow this split felt correct: The physical would be a minimalist love letter to the world of trees and bugs and bears and rain soaked packs, the digital would be a practical, interactive guide.”
Craig 再去那条路徒步的时候，遇到了一堆因为他的书而来这里徒步的夫妇“人生而有别，感恩之心亦可谓十人十色。创造神奇，示之于人，此为对人性感恩之一种也。彼二人或未曾握手相见，对各自生平事故复无相闻，惟细巧体贴之创造即足以千里传音。此即吾等人类传递感恩之心之法门也。故人必诚于其本色，忠于其所信。林檎之为林檎，端赖吾辈不忘初心也。愿与诸君共勉。”（iPhone X 发布会乔布斯录音的中译（或当代汉语现状））
为什么实体化，或者去抽象化是有必要的？“Why make an object? Why print something out? Something irked me about those other walks [that I had done with various people over the past five years]: You do a walk. You have an experience, and then it disappears. How do you give edges to something that fundamentally doesn’t have an edge, that doesn’t have a container around it? All you can do — the best you can do — is create an edit of that experience. You cull some subset of moments and try to pour them into an object, an artifact, something that’s immutable that you can hold in your hands, and you can say: “This. This is what we did. This is what that was.”
Frank Chimero 谈到自己的工作流时说自己会有一个大墙壁，上有贴着各种自己的想法、照片、引用。有的时候会拿下来在桌子上排序。「如果自己不工作得像是大卫芬奇电影里的一个危险人物，就感觉自己的工作没有顺利进展」。「That feels like there’s a weird friction because you can’t see the macro view of a lot of things at the same time. You can’t see all of your slides and keynotes simultaneously.」
digital 和 physical 的区别有时是微小的，但我们不应该失去 appreciation设备的 premission 的属性
「媒介即信息」

“When you sit down with a book, you understand the parameters of engagement. You know how long the book is. The book isn’t changing as you read it. It’s a solid, immutable thing. You and the book are on equal terms in many ways, as least from a physics point of view. You know what’s going to happen, and the book abides by its implicit contract, which is to be a book.”
我喜欢 iPad Pro 的一点其实就是它的局限性：最多同时显示三个 App。正常使用的时候就显示一两个。但是这种边界感提供的专注感不应该被忽视。iPad 是对于书本的模仿，不是对于地板的模仿

Craig Mod 的播客 On Margins 的 Margins 的意义大渡海中纸张的故事
「僕らの時代の本」“This was the only way Eiko and I could hope to understand the macro rhythms and interplay between image and text. Off to the side we kept a stack of additional images that we wanted to use, but didn’t quite know how. And so we’d print the book, place it on the floor, and shuffle in and out the new images, cutting them up, injecting them into the layout, stepping back, squinting, getting a sense for how the changes disrupted or enhanced the overall effect.”

Five Days with the Devil 中星期三的实验星期三，魔鬼答应增强妳的认知能力（perception）。妳会和福尔摩斯一样擅长观察：周遭环境的构造，别人的情感状态，政治和经济气候的真相等等。唯一的代价是欣赏能力（appreciation）的降低。妳知道得越来越多，但越来越不知道这些事情对妳有什么意义，越来越不知道为什么要在乎。无论妳当前的价值观是什么——美、功能性、激情，妳都会不再像以前那样在乎它。(活到老，学到财务自由)
