We lived on Waiheke for a year and the daily constitutional was along the beach on Oneroa.

I found this a related and interesting read …

🔗 The Disappearance of the Public Bench – Pixel Envy

A bench is one of the few places you can sit and spend time for free. Their absence in so many public places is notable for what it says about who we consider part of the public.

All along one half of the Oneroa beach there are chairs to sit in. On?

They don’t belong to the houses. This is not a council service. This is just the love of a single person who noted that on such a vast and beautiful beach there was no place to casually sit - which particularly affects older / infirm people so took it upon themselves to keep the sitting places well populated and goes down twice a week to keep to add and restock the chairs. Yes I know who it is. No I won’t tell you. They travel under the radar.

Side note - the Rotary Club has placed (to date) 58 Public Access Defibrillation Units across Waiheke - so maybe it’s an ‘island thing’? Though I don’t recall one such machine on Maui when I lived there.

When I first saw this film … film, not movie - film … I logged it as one of my top, personal favourites of all time.

My opinion hasn’t changed.

Unless you have been asleep at the wheel, living under a rock or only born yesterday - you know this graphic.

You might not know this one

Then again it would not surprise me at all if I have it backwards - and it is I that resides under said rock ( 🖇️ it happens a lot ) … by not recognising the ‘cube matrix’.

This all came to mind when I was chatting with Andrew Mayfield a couple of weeks ago who at one point in the conversation compared software to sandwiches - in someways redefining SAAS❓

Software As A Sandwich

.. he said 🔗 and then wrote about in a post. It’s a good post .. and very true - but my next job was to merge these two ideas - because as we all know 🖇️ Life Is A Remix.

First Job - define the three by three grid and decide on the axes.

Where I am so far …

And of course were I to classify what kind of ‘sandwich’ drove the development of this particular graphic - I would say ‘The Garden’.

It is clearly not right - but neither is it wrong. I will continue to noodle and welcome any and all insights and contributions.

BTW - it was writing this post that brought up 🖇️ this joke - because I have this thought that ‘the demo’ industry will benefit enormously from vibe coding.

The software and products we are building definitely utilises AI - but the AI is being managed by real developers. Unlike say my web site at 🖇️ Philpin.com - which is all me vibing with Claude and is way better than I have ever achieved in the past using Wordpress - but even before being finished it is on its third iteration as I learn and unpack what Claude is actually doing when left to its own devices.

Bottom line - it clearly believes that more lines of code than less is the metric!

I watched it because it’s Jason .. sad that he keeps making the same movie .. even sadder is that I keep watching them.

Good action movie. GREAT Soundtrack.

I was in the late 80s that I set up Fractal Communications in the UK. It never happened and instead headed west - and a whole new world started up for me. BUT - the idea of fractal communications stayed with me. My early years saw social handles like fractals - eg over on Twitter - when it was good. If I was a little late to the network and it was taken - fractallion. I have presented on what I mean by it and how it works countless times. But life continued to move and it was never turned into the business I envisaged.

Fast Forward to 2026 and I find myself constantly ideating how best to package and present this new service we are developing. I can see it. I can feel it - but as my manager (Jax) oft' says to me - use less words - get clearer … its as if she is sitting in on conversations that I have with others. (I suffer a sever case of Cobbler’s children.)

This afternoon I picked up a collection of hand off docs that I keep after Claude conversations .. dropped them in a new project to strat again and in amongst its first pass of the docs …

This is the architecture. It’s fractal, not sequential.

I had not ever referenced the idea of fractal to Claude in the past. But it’s not a wrong thought.
