“He took The Runaway Prince home and renewed it twice online, at which point a gray pop-up box that looks like an emissary from 1995 tells you, “the renewal limit for this item has been reached.”
Alix E. Harrow, Apex Magazine Issue 105, February 2018

Sam Ladner
“I often tell people to tamp down their excitement about data exhaust because none of these data are actually designed for falsifiability in mind—it’s simply the detritus of our digital lives. Just because we have more data doesn’t mean we are doing better research. We are drowning in an endless sea of data, yet we are stuck in an insight desert”
Sam Ladner, Mixed Methods: A short guide to applied mixed methods research
