I missed Bending Spoons going public a week ago. Who knew that a failing software company could use its last bit of cash to buy another failing company and from there build a portfolio of failing companies and 10 years later have an IPO that values you at - as of today - $23Billion. Kudos. The Computer Associates of the new millennium.

If you use Evernote, Vimeo, Eventbrite, AOL, Meetup, Issuu, StreamYard, Brightcove, AOL, WeTransfer and many more - you are using Bending Spoons.

Two thoughts

• Glad they added a ‘P’ to the end of their ticker.
• I agree - not all failing - ‘Distressed Assets’ might be more accurate? Still - all needed (still need?) Help.

Let me actually render it and check pixel colors rather than just eyeball the source.

Dear Claude - how exactly would you ‘eyeball the source’ ?

Asking for a friend.

Personality and charisma aside (and much as I rooted for Starmer — he’s dull as ditchwater and lacks direction - even conviction), I do still wonder whether another seven years (nine total, matching Burnham’s run in Manchester) would have made a difference. We’ll never know. But when the opposition spends fourteen years (or ten, depending how you count) destroying the country, it will take more than two to fix it.

The Dems in the US might take heed - Tяump and his Аппаратчик have done worse, in far less time.

Entropy is always more efficient than repair.

I will forever be thankful that, somehow, I had the inkling to tell Om how good his recent writing was, before he told me his health was in such dire straits. Don’t hold back on telling people they made something you love or admire. Om himself was remarkably generous in that regard. 

… Gruber - I think.
