🖇️ Me a couple of days ago ending with ‘wondering what ‘Rob’ will say.

Now we know.

He just delivered a great story - as always and funny. He didn’t say it the way I did (mainly because he has more talent) … but I think we agree. Take a listen.

🔗 🎙️ Paramount: Buy, Sell, Fight

I love Rick Beato’s podcast channel and Ted Gioia’s writing and so was delighted to watch this meeting of minds last night …

🔗🎵📼 Rick and Ted ‘chat’

🎈123/366 For your most happy listening pleasure … put me in such a good mood.

🔗🎵📼 The Mariachis with Hugh Cornwell perform Golden Brown

At the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366. Also - if you are wondering how I have update the words at the bottom of over 100 posts at a stroke, well - THANK YOU Andy Sylvester and his Glossary plugin.

🔗 🎵 📼 Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning

(📸 from earlier today)

🔗 Cigarettes After Sex are playing Madison Garden.

Don’t worry, I hadn’t heard of them either.

🔗 🎵 Apocalypse is their ‘biggie’. (1,233,307,237 streams. Apparently, I must have been under my rock at the time.)

🔗 🎵 📼 Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven (But Nobody Wants to Die) - not as many!

🎈121/366 I had been wondering about 🔗 Keycap Shine.

Then @gruber 🔗 explains even more today.

It all makes sense. Still bloody annoying.

At least I can stop polishing my keyboard.

Dana makes some good points in ‘🔗 Why Full Self Driving is a Fraud.’. And of course the US isn’t protectionist.

Today in Tedium:

As you may know, Tedium is a blog and/or newsletter (we haven’t decided yet–I know, surprising nine years in) focused on questions that you never bothered to ask yourself, but are suddenly consumed by the second you hear them.

I know how they feel!

Oh - and in that piece - i got pointed to 🔗 The Story of the Social Security Number - I did not know how the numbers came to be and what they are.
