🔗 📼 😂 Stewart Lee on Social Media (Content Provider)

Don’t worry, it’s not my usual rant. Just a very funny piece of standup that needs to be watched more than it has.

Whatever you are doing … stop … and 🔗 📼 😂 spend 5 minutes watching this.

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.

(📸 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!

Just a BIG shout out to @vladcampos for 🔗 📼 this video which talks you through how to rearrange the categories on the archive page of your MicroBlog.

GREAT JOB SIR - most excellent. Really really clear - and it worked first time.

AND of course - big shout out to @otaviocc for the new page.

I did it and it did exactly what it said on the tin.

Sadly it still isn’t quite right - i think mainly because Vlad is using Tiny Theme and I am using Hitchens and I am guessing some kind of styling conflict kicked in and it threw out the rest of my page (like Vlad I am not a developer), but no big deal, we just rolled back and maybe not at 11:32 pm I will look at the coe and se if I can parse what should be changed.

Vlad - one additional thing - rather than saving the name of a page and creating a new one - you can in fact click on the original page and when you save it - it automatically creates the edited page in the block at the top - that will save a few nano seconds.

Anyway - over and out - GREAT job. Thank you.

🔗 📼 This an 11 year old Ted Talk featuring Pablo Holman - demonstrating hacks on the stage. ELEVEN years ago .. so what 2013?

It includes a shout out to Kim Cameron who Pablo called The Chief Privacy Architect at Microsoft, which indeed at one time he was - though Kim retired from Microsoft May, 2011, the shout being an announcement that his hacks allowed him to track KIm as he moved through a conference - and … well, I will let you watch the video.

Imagine what is possible today. And you wonder why we have problems.

Kim of course is the author of The Seven Laws of Identity, that I have had the occasion to refer to on this very blog and it is unclear if Pablo’s call out of what he achieved in tracking Kim had any connection to Kim’s retirement - and to be sure I am not suggesting that at all, and to my knowledge nothing suggests that this was the case.

Fast Forward to last year and here he is again with another Ted Talk ‘Nuclear Reactors Can Solve Inequality’. 🤯

Both Talks were just absolutely inspiring

So imagine my delight to discover this one …. where he is talking at Charlie Muirhead’s CogX last year. I haven’t watched it yet - saved for tonight, but I sure am looking forward to it.
