I'm not entirely sure where to post this note - whether in the news section or on the blog - but one way or another, it was bound to see the light of day sooner or later

What am I even talking about, and what do blogs and news have to do with this? As you’ve probably noticed, every article on the site starts with something like “News:” followed by the details. Except maybe “Weekly Bullshit” - those have numbered issues, but it’s a very regular column that comes out every week. And I guess it’ll be the same story with the “News.” Probably, because I haven’t decided yet whether I want to number them or specify exactly what the news is in the headline

It doesn’t matter. What matters is that the site has finally started to take on a meaningful structure and different types of articles, which I’d like to briefly describe now

What we currently have in place, and what’s already working:

Field Notes - brief, situational notes, usually taking just a couple of minutes to read, which I write from time to time, out of context, on various topics

News - couldn’t have said it better myself. Brief updates, for example, about my availability in Paris, upcoming broadcasts, or other important changes 

Photos - it’s simple here - this tag will be used only for posts with photos. For example, models, places, and others - little text, lots of photos. Photos are an important part of this site, but some of them deserve their own space and tag 

Stories - a personal section, closed off from the outside internet, with many (in the future) personal stories, experiences, and other things I want to share, but don’t want to do so with the entire internet 

Thoughts aloud - another short topic, about whatever’s on my mind at the moment, something I want to share right here and right now. Kind of like Twitter, but with a few more characters and a bit more substance

Weekly Bullshit - the week’s highlights in all their glory. Just as they are, simply because I can

What else is on the agenda? Two things that I think are important. First, there will be a section on technology in a broader sense. Work, the use of AI - things that might be interesting from the perspective of what I actively do every day in terms of tech. The second thing - well, sooner or later we had to talk about this - is a paid subscription for certain content. On the one hand, I don’t mind sharing; on the other, a new camera isn’t going to buy itself

As for paid content, I’m not sure yet what it will look like or what it will include. On the one hand, I think it might include some photos, some articles from Tech, and some other content; on the other hand, it might just be a subscription with the same access model as that for registered users. But then it would be completely fair to those who pay

Feel free to share your ideas in the comments - for example, what you’d be willing to pay for and what you wouldn’t. I’ve been thinking about turning my photos into postcards and sending them out to my followers once a month

Or whatever else comes to mind

One important - and unfortunate - point. I know I have subscribers from Russia, and I know that none of the payment systems work there. We’ll figure something out. Let’s just be thankful that the site at least still loads
