I just looked at: valid.rss.chat for john.philpin.com - and no dice …
Turns out that my blog isn’t ‘malformed’, it is because Micro.blog’s RSS feed output does not currently conform completely to the RSS.chat interoperability profile.
I can wait.

If I include an URl an image might appear. If I add just an image it doesn't.
Expected behaviour?

🔗 Trump To Order Redesign of Aircraft Carriers Because They Don’t Look Right
This comes after Trump just a few days ago ordered the Navy to go back to steam-powered catapults (the thing that hurls the planes forward off the ship for takeoff) from the new electromagnetic catapults. He apparently wants to do this because he once talked to a catapult operator who told him the old kind was better.
“Lasting innovation is built on connections.”
So true … across;
industries ➕ sectors ➕ geographies ➕ disciplines
and time … continuously ➕ continually … so that we keep in mind that we are in a marathon - not a sprint.
CONTINUAL creates the nodes of our community
CONTINUOUS forms the fabric that will sustain our community
TOGETHER … not ‘and’ … ‘➕’

🖋️ What Are These 'Systems of Engagement' Of Which You Speak?
Stop your focus on record-keeping and command-and-control systems. They are history. They are and always were. The future is ‘Engagement’. BUT - where are those systems?
🔗 Neil Vogel, CEO of People Inc., calls Google an “intentional bad actor” for using the same crawler for both search and AI.
Question - is Neil Vogel the ‘best thing since sliced bread’?

(Little Kiwi humour there.)
Looks Looked like a really interesting idea until I got to this screen. It speaks volumes.
👁️ I either broke the internet again or LinkedIN is down❓
Why were all these people at Auckland Town Hall last night?

Well, not to get ahead of ourselves - 🔗📼 this is what they thought at the end of it all.
Turns out they were waiting to hear ‘this guy’ perform.

He did. His name is Sheku Kanneh-Mason.
🔗 You can read all about him here.
27 years old Nottingham lad with roots back to Bahrain - and pretty much ‘the dude’ when you are talking Classical Cello - watch out ‘Yo Yo’. Seriously - BBC Young Musician at 17 and played at Harry and Meghan’s wedding at 19.
Last night? Great stuff - along with the 🔗Auckland Philharmmonia conducted by 🔗 Elena Schwarz. Interested to learn that her own first instrument was the cello - so I suspect we got something even more special.
The orchestra in full flight

Taking their bow …


Many thanks to Phil and The 🔗 BNZBA for the invite.
We loved it.

🎥 I watched 🔗The Client again. It is over 30 years old - which explains why all the great actors in it look so young. I remember enjoying it at the time. Not so much on the second ‘outing’ - a little bit ‘thin’ IMHO. BUT - still worth ★★★
