I just watched 🎥 The Gentlemen 🖇️ again - and it is still worth★★★★

I did not know that Jim had ‘Barksdales’:
One of the Barksdaleisms that I always liked: “If we have data, let’s look at data. If all we have are opinions, let’s go with mine."
Have you met my 🖇️ Johnisms? Unique ones 🖇️ pop up all over this domain.
Watched it a while back and just watched it 🎥🔗 Crazy Rich Asians again. Because it was so good? No. Because I was over-ruled by others on this wet Wellington afternoon so in all honesty just kept an eye on it while I got on with tweaking My Wiki. It remains at ★★
★★★★ for 🎥 Mayday that I watched last night. Excellent - as I typically expect when ‘Ryan’ plays ‘Ryan’. This time round we had Sir Kenneth Branagh playing the part of Hugh Jackman.
🏗️ The ‘Forty’ Template in Blot is very very opinionated. It provided a good foundation to my 🖇️ wiki - but ‘I’ have now over written so much of it that I am no longer sure that ‘using Forty’ is entirely accurate.
GAH - not been adding ratings to the movie reviews. 🖇️ Fixed
Revisited this morning and Siri happily reduced the 30,000 into a more manageable set of docs that I was actually after.
In the 30,000 we found some 2,367 Markdown files that had meaningful information that MIGHT be useful in my newly emerging 🖇️wiki.
Analysis seemed out of Siri reach - so zipped it up and sent to ChatGPT.
The accompanying analysis now sits in the Obsidian Notes vault.
As highlighted:
The objective was not to tidy the Vault. It is to make the thinking inside it visible.

Claude will likely take over now.
🖋️ Hi Claude. Have you met Siri?
Organizing a collection of nearly 30,000 Markdown notes locally in Obsidian, using Siri and Python scripts for assistance - working so far - like a charm.
🏗️ I am using Claude to co-build my Wiki and have now got a nice flow to it. Claude has access to a specific folder on my drive - we edit together and Claude does things like cleaning up my tags and other YAML - as well as pushing the local folder contents up to Git. Blot picks it up from there and pushes it out to 🖇️ https://wiki.philpin.com … like all good web properties it is an eternal WIP. Not ready from prime time - BUT as I say on the Wiki:
“we have leaned into the design philosophy of ‘build in public’ and not wait for perfect”
I also use the whole thing locally with Obsidian.
‘The Creator Economy’ is over and ‘The Affinity Economy’ is here.
I don’t live in the ‘xyz economy’ worlds - 🖇️ far too many to keep track of. BUT for a while now I have been talking and writing about the global movement from ‘Systems of Record’ to ‘Systems of Engagement’ - and the need for people and businesses to not throw away all of their systems and ‘drop in a new stack’ - but rather to start to think differently about what they already have and how to use that to ‘engage for the future’ and not ‘broadcast history’.
On that we seem to be aligned.
‘Content’ is homogenous undifferentiated fodder that is poured into silos with pricing you would expect from any interchangeable commodity .. if that describes your writing, it might explain why nobody values it.
💬 ME
🖋️ 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?
📺 Finished watching Season 2 of 🔗 Sugar last night and every bit as good as 🖇️the first series. Don’t miss it. ★★★★
The Apple Vision Pro is a failed dead/dud product
💬 Too many people - who should know better.
🖇️ Such as Wired back in 2023 - which I always rail against if I have a spare moment.
This is why …
👁️ Heh @AndySylvester - look what I just 🖇️ rediscovered ❗️
Turns out Ted thinks about content 🖇️🔎 the same way I do.
Pretty sure I did - but never seen him speak directly to the issue.
The instant a business guy uses a sports metaphor to make his most important strategic point, I am lost. If you want me to understand your business idea, try wrapping it in Wendy Carlos’s secrets of synthesis or quotations by Orson Welles or the punchline to an old joke.
💬 Jeffrey Zeldman
Another ‘life truth’.
It gets even worse when the sport is only played in one country and the metaphor attempts to cross the ocean … and yet - even I am on occasions - guilty.
I am looking at you ‘🖇️ playbook’.
I allow it because the original meaning of the term is even older than the USA - let alone ‘American Football’ - and yes I made that discovery was made years after I started using the term - but I’ll still take it 😉.
🎥 Watched 🔗 Death on the Nile ( ★★★ ) over the weekend. Hadn’t I watched it before? Yes of course - but not this one. Another one. I know you know the story - it’s nearly 100 years old so of course you do - just interesting to see the ensemble cast in a murder mystery based on a book written by the inventor of the ensemble cast in a murder mystery - all the way down to the end scene where what ever is left of the cast are stood in a room with the worlds greatest detective reveals the dastardly culprit.
You’ve seen the scene so many times - mainly in films and shows that are NOT Ms. Christie stories.
🎥 I watched 🔗 Rumble in the Bronx years ago and just watched it again last night - ★★★ - not for the acting - can I give negative stars❓ But absolutely for Jackie Chan’s fight choreography - amazing.
📺 Finished watching: 🔗 Unfamiliar Season 1: ★★★ for the second time last night. Not that it particulalrly deserved a second viewing - but clearly it didn’t not! First time just me, This time Jax wanted to watch and I had no objection. Not a bad story at all.
