I took this picture of Maya taking a picture of a Skype session with her grandfather, in which the camera on my computer embedded a picture of her in the corner of the picture his computer took of him holding up a picture of me from when I was 12 years old, holding a camera. While thinking to myself privately that Douglas Hofstadter was, on reflection, a bit of a simpleton.
It took me a few minutes to shake this moment off, let me tell you.

My brain, it hurts.
Count the cameras around you right now. Be generous, anything whose job is to sense/record light. I’m at 11 without trying hard.
The future is data.
