David Merfield at Blot Rocks
.. there I said it. So happy with my new 🔗 Blot powered Obsidian Wiki - now in the menu of my 🖇️ Public Journal
What David Merfield built is very impressive and the Obsidian integration is stunning.
My wiki is based on the Forty template with extended CSS and functionality like 🔗 this page all built in collaboration with Claude.
Looking to now add an image gallery
Have I taken away a programmers job? No - without Claude I just wouldn’t have done it.
Next job moving a raft of material out of various archives and folders into the Obsidian vault.
This was publisehd in 2017 - and I am sure I saw something this pst week that announced essentially the same things as ‘news’. Ofc ourse I cant find it - but when I do - will come back here and add it.
🖇️ Reuters Reporting Ten Year Old News As Something New. // 💬 John Philpin
Haven’t done one of these in a while - but have to say i started it - and it just flowed out - so publish and be dammed is what I say.
… in a situation like that there’s only one thing you can do and that’s walk into The shrink [BAD Business] wherever you are, just walk in say “[BAD business], You can get anything you want, at Alice’s restaurant. You “support election deniers, I’m out”.
And walk out. You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he’s really sick and They won’t take him pay attention.
And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, They may think they’re both ???? nuts and they won’t take pay attention to either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in Singin' a bar of Alice’s Restaurant sayin’ “BAD Business you support election deniers, I’m out” and walking out. They may think it’s an Organisation.
And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said Fifty people a day walking in singin' a bar of Alice’s Restaurant sayin’ “BAD Business - you support election deniers, I’m out” and Walking out.
And friends they may thinks it’s a movement.

GREAT READ
I think my 🖇️ Age of Reason » Age of Experience themes that I have been writing about recently are totally in synch.
📺 The Big Door Prize ★★★
I started Series 1 when it first came out - and yeah no. Recently at a lose end - and it got beeter - so moved into Series 2, The star count is right.
📺 Your Friends and Neighbours (Series 1) ★★★★
Yeah. Good. Never saw Mad Men - but I like how he can be ‘smooth, suave and sophisticated’ one minute and so ‘quickly’ switch to down and out. It started slow - for me - and towards the end was waiting for the next episode.
Good life lessons thoughts to boot.

A Public Policy Framework
Another doc prompted by something on LinkedIN - this one around a twenty year old doc called ‘Public Policy Framework for the New Zealand Innovation System’
I was curious as to
-
how well we had done - not well.
-
how well we could do - hard - but not impossible
-
how much the analysis connected to my own experiences and thinking - a lot
While down here, I bang on this a lot - as do others. It never seems to take hold. For whatever reason(s).

Stop Calling It Content
Content is a non differentiated, horrible, generic, cheap, replaceable kind of word.
Content is stored in silos - with grains and other commodities.
Content has minimal value.

Time To Self Medicate
Is Silicon Valley a destination, or just part of the journey?
… and where is it anyway?
… oh and why, despite the best attempts, countries all over the world seem to fall short of replicating it.

Work Life Balance
Chris Lockhead dropped a post on LinkedIN regarding retirement.
To me retirement is the macro version of the daily work-life balance.
It solves the wrong problem really well.

Today was the 🖇️ 80th quote in the ‘Inspired By People’ series and as I intimated 🖇️in this comment, I have no hesitation in bringing it to an end. Such was the demand. 🥳
Feel free to scroll through and be inspired.
It’s going to be a (very) slow move - but decided to move all pages hosted on Micro Blog to Craft.
As I move them will delete the page and add the old page URL to my redirects.
COUGH
When I did that first one - found a lot of redirects that I know are broken - so maybe I will fix those first.
