# The End of 2025, and The Beginning of The Next Quarter

> The times are too surreal not to document them.


## Posts

- [Waking Up the Inanimate: Why I’m Building Anima](https://256colores.com/2025/waking-up-the-inanimate-why-im-building-anima/): An inquiry into quiet spatial computing, Shinto animism, and turning inert physical spaces into emergent, conversational memory.
- [Corporate Art: Shaping the Modern Organization as Social Sculpture](https://256colores.com/2025/corporate-art-shaping-the-modern-organization-as-social-sculpture/): A follow-up reflection on Joseph Beuys's Social Sculpture concept applied to corporate structures, supported by Brian Eno's insights on adult play.
- [Why I am Treating the Modern Corporation as a Social Sculpture](https://256colores.com/2025/why-i-am-treating-the-modern-corporation-as-a-social-sculpture/): There is a quiet, exhausting crisis happening inside the modern workspace, and it has nothing to do with supply chains, remote work logistics, or macroeconomics. It is the crisis of the operational autopilot. Over a thirty-year career directing creative strategy for global brands—sitting in the boardrooms, pitching the campaigns, and winning accolades like the Cannes Lions—I watched a devastating pattern repeat itself. Organizations spend millions of dollars optimizing their processes, streamlining their workflows, and auditing their efficiencies. But in the pursuit of a flawless machine, they accidentally achieve something far more dangerous: they optimize the humanity right out of the building. […]
- [Walk-a-Film's Work-in-Progress](https://256colores.com/2025/sharing-walk-a-films-work-in-progress-mockups/): Yesterday, I wrote about the quiet satisfaction of the build—how the learning curve and the process of bringing an idea to life is often more rewardingly meaningful than its final utility. If that is true, then documenting the process is the natural next step. It’s about showing the gears turning, sharing the raw artifacts without the “filter” of marketing copy or design perfection. Lately, I’ve been return-visiting the White Papers project. It’s a collection of essays and strategic frameworks for ideas I believe have the potential to become real, or at the very least, to inspire others to look at physical […]

- [Escaping the Advertising Bubble to Find Creative Peace](https://256colores.com/2025/escaping-the-advertising-bubble-to-find-creative-peace/): For the past few months, I have found myself working on legacy creative tasks. It is a strange, quiet sensation. It makes you think about the natural human urge to leave a mark on the world—like carving your initials into the bark of a tree, wishing for some part of you to remain. For me, writing has always been that space. It is peaceful, introverted, and quiet. Yet, for a long time, I let self-imposed rules paralyze me. I originally wanted this blog to be a strict documentation of my media consumption, complete with screengrabs. But that rigid rule did not […]
- [Are the rats getting ready to jump ship?](https://256colores.com/2025/are-the-rats-getting-to-jump-ship/): I guess we could all freak out. But at the same time everything seems to be so absurd.
- [Magic or simulation. All connected.](https://256colores.com/2025/magic-or-simulation-all-connected/): This made me think of a book I read: The Tao of Physics – Wikipedia Everything is alive and connected.
- ["We did not ask for this Internet"](https://256colores.com/2025/we-did-not-ask-for-this-internet/): I loved this headline. It connects with something that has been keeping thinking. It is on the evolution of this beautiful thing called the Internet. The Internet will continue to evolve. Today we have the AI bots. The business of attention. Monetize the eyeballs at all cost. One of the reasons I want to blog again. Working on my small piece of the Internet. Cultivating this thing for my own pleasure. Leaving a mark just because I can. https://youtu.be/Yepnhe1T-9U?si=rpBa1NGRE2dRoiSe
- [I like this type of images because](https://256colores.com/2025/i-like-this-type-of-images-because/): I forget why I saved these screenshots. I think I was looking for metaphors that could represent a group of people working together. A company, a group of people. Collaborating. Corporations will never understand this. They play a constant zero sum game. Please read this: The Score by C Thi Nguyen review – a brilliant warning about the gamification of everyday life | Philosophy books | The Guardian
- [Is this how capitalism starts to break?](https://256colores.com/2025/is-this-how-capitalism-starts-to-break/): Will the Epstein crimes be the downfall of a certain type of man? I mean men who have a close connection to the world order. This creates a complete distrust towards the institutions that maintain today’s consumer world. Were we humans always like this? Does not mean that we can’t change. But. What will be the next model? A copy or new version of the Chinese model? Or it goes to Russian/Putin style of power?
- [Make the web free](https://256colores.com/2025/make-the-web-free/): The monetization of eyeballs leads to things like this, These dudes will always be around. So weird that this ideology is atractive to some humans. Let them voice their garbage, but please don’t monetize it. So, yes. Let’s go back to a sort of free Internet.
- [A Powerful Illustration of Autism Experience](https://256colores.com/2025/a-powerful-illustration-of-autism-experience/): I took this screenshot on 2025-03-07. I believe that I grabbed it from Reddit. (Reedit has not been enshittified yet, i believe). I recorded it because I felt this was such a great illustration of what autism can feel like. Pure and hardcore sensitivity.
- [She told her: we don't want things to change](https://256colores.com/2025/she-told-her-we-dont-want-things-to-change/): Then she asked her about who “we” is or what it is? Who is this “WE” you are talking about? This culture war thing is so funny and bizarre. The us versus them. Team A against team B and C, and even F. The Internet is making us tribal again, (back again?)
- [Somedody should buy LinkedIn](https://256colores.com/2025/somedody-should-buy-linkedin/): This would be so epic. Musk did it with Twitter. Maybe some billionaire could get drunk and play a prank to the Internet.
- [Afghanistan Double Feature](https://256colores.com/2025/afghanistan-double-feature/): Mike Okey. One of my favorite YouTube channels. I feel like I am traveling with him. I always had the dream of going to Vietnam, China and Cambodia. That is why I was drawn to his content at first. But once you get to watch his travel journals, you realize that he is a genuine human being, empathic and curios. Another favorite channel of mine is fern. I love their storytelling techniques and narration. Plus, I have always been attracted to investigative journalism. Anyway, both of them released, some weeks ago, content on Afghanistan. I felt that watching these videos gave […]
- [Dictators are gasoline for great satire](https://256colores.com/2025/dictators-are-gasoline-for-great-satire/): This was aired last night. I saw it earlier while doing chores in the kitchen. The late-night TV monologues are great content for the small Nest Home displays. Anyway, last night’s Jimmy Kimmel was quite powerful. Horrible times = good comedy. After watching Kimmel’s monologue, watch this beautiful western.
- [My mom's WhatsApp AI slop](https://256colores.com/2025/my-moms-whatsapp-ai-slop/): She calls it KI. German is so unique AI in German is translated as: “Künstliche Intelligenz” Kunst originally meant skill, ability, or craftsmanship — not just “art” in the modern sense. künstlich literally means “made through human skill”. The concept is so beautiful: an intelligence created through human craft, technique, and engineering. She sends me the image above. I called her and thanked her for the magic mushrooms. She laughed and said proudly that she had made this using KI.
- [January 7th, 2025, was wild](https://256colores.com/2025/january-7th-2025-was-wild/): Today’s front page is wild, scary, uncertain and unreal.
- [Courtroom sketch](https://256colores.com/2025/courtroom-sketch/): I found this portrait so beautiful. A beautiful drawing. A time capture made in a place where modern technology is not allowed. The subject matter is tragic. Famous people’s tragedies have this strange power of connecting humans. I wonder if these courtroom sketches were done using a tablet.
- ["The Beginning of Your Tomorrow" The headline got to me.](https://256colores.com/2025/the-headline-got-to-me-the-beginning-of-your-tomorrow/): I’ve been a science fiction fan since reading Jules Verne as a kid. I’ve always loved the idea that science and technology make the world a better place, but lately, I’ve started to feel that the future might belong to the dystopian subgenre. With CES currently underway, it has been entertaining to watch all the new tech being unveiled. Specifically, Boston Dynamics and Hyundai presented their humanoid factory robot, Atlas. Before watching their CES keynote, I watched their “product manifesto” video. The questions that kept surfacing for me were: How many people will these robots replace? What happens to the people […]
- [Revive RSS.](https://256colores.com/2025/we-need-to-bring-back-rss/): The future of the creator-community bond will not be found in algorithms. The future belongs to things way simpler, the return to the RSS feed. A RSS Renaissance. What a beautiful concept. could not find much about it. write a paper? Do RSS Readers still exist? not much either here. https://www.bgr.com/2057396/best-rss-reader-apps/ Importan reads: RSS – Wikipedia Aaron Swartz – Wikipedia
- [How can we be so cruel?](https://256colores.com/2025/how-can-we-be-so-cruel/): As humans, how can we get to cruel? ‘We became famous, but at what cost?’: after the horrors of Cecot, the search for a normal life | US immigration | The Guardian
- [Happy Birthday World Wide Web](https://256colores.com/2025/happy-birthday-world-wide-web/): The 25th of December is a good date to do things. A month that can feel quiet. You have to look for these quiet spaces. Stole the image from this Threads account: Web Design Museum
- [The New Proletariat: From Factory Floors to Middle Management](https://256colores.com/2025/the-new-proletariat-from-factory-floors-to-middle-management/): When we think of the “proletariat” of the 20th century, we picture blue coveralls, soot-covered faces, and the physical grind of the assembly line. It was a class defined by manual labor and a lack of ownership over the means of production. But as we settle into the 21st century, the definition of the working class has undergone a radical shift. The new proletariat isn’t standing at a conveyor belt; they are sitting in ergonomic chairs, buried in spreadsheets, acting as the “middle of everything.” The American middle class, specifically the middle managers, have effectively become the new factory worker, trading […]
- [Hello world!](https://256colores.com/2025/hello-world/): Funny how I have the habit of starting blogs on the month of December. Last time I started a blog was in 2020. Here we are again, 5 years later and I feel that it is time to start a new blog. I believe that the web will make a comeback. Users will move from the social web to the “new web’. This new web is made with vibe coding. A new kind of GeoCities if you like. Maybe there is a business opportunity here. A hosting service allowing you to vibe code things on the web.

- [Why This Blog?](https://256colores.com/2025/about-this-blog/): I have started and abandoned most of the blogs I have taken on. While this could be seen as failure or a lack of consistency, I try not to look at it from that perspective. I prefer to view these blogs as moments in my life. They are simply things written during a certain period, serving as a snapshot of the zeitgeist. I am also convinced that the personal website is due for a massive revival, driven by two major shifts: December 2025
