👁️ Vinod Khosla talking with Sam Harris. Only the free bit - so maybe he changes his tack after the 15 minute mark. But I doubt it. Yeah Nah.
👁️ Corporate Governance is apparently all the rage. Not sure why - it seems to be as toothless as the Democrats on the Hill.

Today's offer happens to fit the prompt - so why not .. one of the other 'Lees'.

"Andmoreagain" by Love
WEIRD - I wrote this most yesterday - and posted it - yet nowhere to be found. So here we go again.
Back in 'my day' there were three 'Lees' - Albert, Alvin and Arthur. This music is from Arthur, the image below is one of the others.
👁️ The good news is that my drafts count continues to go down. A few weeks ago just shy of 300 - today below 60. And yes - I know that people keep thousands of drafts in that world - but I am not one of those. To me it is the first stage of any text that will pass through any number of workflows. If it is in Drafts - it’s in my ‘inbox’ and needs to be dealt with. Like the next one.
Google Sucks
🔗 Daring Fireball: Remember When Chrome Went Bad on MacOS?
I experienced this about 9 months ago - cant recall how I fixed it - but Google was definitely not on my ‘things to check’ list
👁️ via @dave .. interesting 🔗 Tweeter Feeder - Stream Spigot - tried it out - not for me.
🔗 The Underworld Market to Remove the Recording Indicator Light on Meta Glasses
Using a Meta platform to find people to hack a Meta device so you can surreptitiously record strangers. So perfectly Meta.

Part of the problem is that we measure what’s easy, not what’s relevant. And part of the problem is that we have trouble explaining trust, while it’s easy to pursue ever more transparency.

🖋️ Sometimes 'Non Obvious' comes disguised as 'Obvious'
Manton suggests that Apple rarely builds anything now … ‘except the most obvious products’. I disagree, because that statement depends on two things … what is meant by ‘obvious’ and what is meant by ‘product’.
Pink Floyd has Nick’s ‘Saucerful’
Genesis has Steve’s ‘Genesis Revisited’
🔗📼🎵 Not Voyage 35 - and yet is.
It was announced a while back - but seems to beginning to take shape ….
Porcupine Tree now has Colin’s ‘Voyage 35’
👁️ Have to say when I look around at other services in film, shows, music and books - Letterboxd (sadly only film) seem to have it more right than the others.
👁️ The end of an era. When I first arrived in SF they were the bedrock of support for places like KQED and related programming. They did - and do - a lot more beside. I hope the ‘kids’ get the future right.
The Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund, one of San Francisco’s largest philanthropic foundations, is closing at the end of 2028 as younger generations of the Haas family transition to new giving initiatives.
📸 Some places have ‘Street Art’ .. we have ‘Beach Art’
The beach is no Oneroa - but makes up with proximity.
The coast is taking a toll - eventually, the fight will be lost.
🔗📼 The Unsolved Mystery of Lorem Ipsum has been circulating around a number of places I tend to go, so gave it a whirl. So should you.
Of course it is about curiosity, discovery, history, inaccuracies, putting things right, timelines, typesetting, layout, design .. and more .. and you might think ‘l’m not that interested - yeah nah’. Which would be sad because it would be your loss and you would never know what a lovely man 🔗 Richard McClintock is.
Not only that, but you’d miss out on how just one dedicated person can have impact, no matter how seemingly small.
(Stick to the end to discover the deets.)
