It has taken a couple of days (and gos), but I am beginning to get my new series settled in. Still some tweaks to go - and there is a BIG fix needed on the site around syndication - but nearly there.
.. and so a new year begins and the Daily Stoic … as a publishing event … ends.
A variation on a theme will be forthcoming .. inspired by this thought from a Daily Stoic entry on 🖇️ December 22nd
Meanwhile …
Happy New Year
About That Adobe - Figma Thing
Sorry - but this is going to be a ‘MicroBlog Storm’. Is that a thing I hear you ask? Why yes - yes it is. If IKEA can have 🖇️ ‘Vintage IKEA’ - then hell has clearly frozen over - and a ‘MicroBlog Storm’ is definitely a thing.
You might remember that I was never a fan of 🖇️ Ramaswamy
Just 4 months later - even Fox has tuned on him … FOX!
Fox🔗 News Goes Absolutely Nuclear on ‘Court Jester’ Vivek Ramaswamy - The Daily Beast
Hell No … in fact why am I still subscribed after 🖇️ this fiasco?
🪦🖇️ Et tu Henry?
🔗 Apple’s Vision Pro Isn’t the Future
Flagging this to highlight that I am betting that Wired is WRONG. I will come back to it in the future - let’s say round about the end of Q1, beginning of Q2, 2024?
The Wired link is from June. Meanwhile 🖇️ me in October. I will try to find a few more.
A Where’s Waldo Update
Been a busy year.
I am just this week completing the final trip to close the loop.
January : New Zealand / Honolulu stopover/ LA
February : LA
March : LA
April : LA / Palm Desert
May : LA / Palm Desert
June : Palm Desert
July : Palm Desert
August : Palm Desert
September : Palm Desert / LA / UK / Poland
October : UK / Paris / Portugal
November UK / LA / Palm Desert / Sydney, Oz stopover/ New Zealand
December : New Zealand
Sadly the Sydney/Oz will not register on my ’🖇️ Where’s Waldo ’ live post, due-to the self imposed rule of not just ’no stop overs’ … but a minimum two nights. Next time. This was actually the first time ever in Oz. (Hard to believe)
🖇️ Never had a high opinion of him … … seems like others feel the same way….
🔗 Please get Ramaswamy off my TV, and other debate thoughts.
Us vs Them OR Us and Them OR Us + Them
Interesting thread over on LinkedIN from my friend 🔗 Dave Wilt - who started on the track of ‘vs’.
🔗 Corporate Identity Politics. (It was kind of about Sales and Marketing alignment - a problem which was a problem long before I started out in business. You would have though by now we might have fixed it? But no.)
Anyway - about half way through I managed to pivot the thread to 🎵 Music … mainly because the core topic just gets talked about - and IT IS NEVER FIXED - so … ‘BORING’.
From the thread …
You might notice that the original song was called ‘Us and Them’, while the tour and film is called ‘Us + Them’.
“It’s not a mistake. It’s a subtle modification. The original ‘and’ was not necessarily inclusive. It was highlighting one or the other. The power of ‘+’ sign is additive. It drives home the idea of being united. Together.”
It’s a small and very important detail. It’s language.
If you want to read the newsletter I was going to write about … ‘🖇️ Rewriting History’
I didn’t see the sign above this graphic saying no photography until after I took it.
Then again, there was nothing to say you couldn’t publish it if you had.
I was more taken with the ‘consistency’ of the advice as to how you should pack and travel.
To be clear - not taken at 🖇️ Heathrow.
Finally! Can sit down, ‘avec l’ordinateur’, and fix the broken posts and links that have been posted on 🖇️ my blog these past few days.
Thankyou for your patience.
And so we hit ‘30’ - 🖇️ September Challenge Completed.

Beverage line 1 - where ‘Establishment 1’ could teach ‘Establishment 2’ a thing or two about attracting a crowd.

There’s always a balance!
Bonus? The word ‘beverage’ appears in both photographs.
Just updated my ‘🖇️ Places I have lived and visited’ list to include Poland. Got here last night … heading back on Sunday,
