🎈173/366 I know Mighty Networks aren’t the only show in town but she is not wrong. I remain amazed how people keep building THEIR communities inside the silos. You explain and the response often includes how they have so many people in their ‘socialsilo’ group. I can’t be bothered to explain any more.

🎈172/366 I know it’s my fault - it always is .. but nevertheless having seen this before can’t help wondering what I did.

🎈170/366 Over on Substack, Tom Cox dispatched a newsletter : All The Life Coaches Have Life Coaches.

There were some comments, but nobody seemed to be looking at the title, which prompted me to remark that I thought it was Hawking that introduced ‘turtles all the way down’ to a broader audience and went on to wonder if this refinement relates.

If all life coaches have a life coach can that life coach coach the life coach that coaches his life? Or is it life coaches all the way down?

🎈169/366 The most immediate existential threat to the world is not climate change, or nuclear proliferation, or growing the population, or anything else. It is Trump. No more. No less. Don’t sit back and think that this is just an American problem.

I kid you not, so frustrated earlier today that I have had to calm down. All my iOS stuff not currently in use is kept in a single place. Yesterday the pile was - shall we say - ‘organised’. All stuff in same place - just a neater pile than usual.

Today, I went to pick up iPad and 🍎Pencil - and the pencil was missing. Nowhere. Seperated all devices out - and checked off one by one. Still nothing. I went to the places I usually use it - nada. Lifted couch cushions. Nothing. Stopped search. Started search. Frustration doesn’t even get to it. Two hours and then some. Negotiating with myself - that clearly it was a message from above that my old pencil had run its course - and I could now justify a super duper new one.

Here’s what I think happened.

The bank manager got hold of that rationale and somehow planted in my brain that I should take one more look. I did.

Did I mention the tray that sits beside the ‘iOS stuff’? I mean it’s there. It’s clearly not hiding - and I had looked under and all around it. The lip of the tray curves down so you can’t see anything behind the lip if you look ‘underneath from the side’. But I knew that and had already looked. I mean - how could anything really be there? It would just fall down again.

TODAY I LEARNED …

.. that the tray has sufficient Nickel plating that it can attract a magnet in say something like an Apple Pencil and snap that puppy nice and tight into and under that lip.
