I like to think of every organization being a magic box.

• 3 inputs [I] : people, capital and tangible assets
  
• 2 outputs [0] : products and services

The rest is just context.

I get it. I really do. But how do you KNOW?

Here’s something I just did in another post in the Micro Blog client and 🤯

Type a number like 7 and then type a maths symbol (say *) and then type another number (say 13) and finish of with ‘=’

7 * 13 =91

Here’s the thing - ‘91’ just appeared automatically when I typed ‘='

I know that Apple were describing all this earlier this year - I just was amazed when it happened since I hadn’t really thought about it.

Occasionally a post on Daring Fireball reads something like this:

After being sold out for months, the upcoming sponsorship schedule at DF is unusually open at the moment—especially this week!

I don’t sell sponsorship, I sell me, but at the highest level we both trade in what we might call perishable inventory;

• A hotel room not sold on Monday night can’t be sold Tuesday.
  
• John can’t sell this week’s sponsorship next week.
  
• If I don’t bill today I can’t catch up tomorrow.
  

I’ll be back with some more thoughts, but for now, I’m just letting this lie.

🔗 You are the center of concentric circles, Mark Dykeman

It’s another one of those Dunbar posts, the concentric circles are so random that I was reduced to asking ChatGPT ..

“What is the difference between a friend, good friends, best friends and close friends?

A less than satisfactory answer, though it did seem to agree with me (and the author) that a ‘Best Friend’ is closer than a ‘Close Friend’. Other than that? Yeah - no.

And the numbers

• 5 close/best friends
  
• 10 more best / close friends
  
• 35 more good friends
  

Why did he bother writing the piece? Why have I bothered commenting on it?
