🖋️ Zingo Zingo - What you going to do-e-o
Zingo had the idea six to ten years too early. Timing, infrastructure, incumbents and a government willing to let you operate matters more than being first. A lesson for us all.
Funny👁️ how suddenly things just come to mind. Take 🔗🎵 Russ Conway - not thought of him for decades - my mum was a fan (which is why I even know his name), but I still have no idea how he suddenly cropped up in my brain.
🔗 GDS weighs in on the NHS’s decision to retreat from Open Source – Terence Eden
a meeting _without_biscuits.
💬 The UK's Civil Service
😂 Perfect - only the British.
BUT - please don’t ignore this article - particularly if you are in the UK - and as I track the latest moves in New Zealand - also there.
Some people make things happen. Some people watch things happen. And then there are those who wonder, ‘What the hell just happened?"
💬 Carroll Bryant
It’s bad enough being in the second category, but too many people are in the third.
🖋️ You Don't Get Your Teeth Back
Sartre warned us about procrastination. He was talking about the human condition - but it equally applies to how organizations move, how people engage, and why waiting for ‘perfect’ means you never move. And by then, your bite has gone.
My answer is not theirs … and i guess i was wrong given the last phrase …“to the left-hand side:”
That said - I rather like my solution …
📺🔗 The Lincoln Lawyer - series 4 - ✅
I will need to return to finish - but in a nutshell - well worth a watch, but make sure you go through the first three before you start - it will add to your enjoyment.
★★★★
🔗📼 Martin Gutmann: Are we celebrating the wrong leaders?
Spoiler Alert. Yes - but that’s not an excuse not to watch it.
Charity Is Doomed To Fail argues that traditional charity reacts to symptoms instead of addressing causes of issues like trafficking. The author calls for a proactive, well-funded, business-driven approach as embodied by The Future Found, highlighting Dan Pallotta’s point that new thinking, capital, and strategy are needed for real change - shifting from reactive aid to tackling root problems at scale.
💬 Sadly - unknown - so far
I need to go find the source, because someone talking about Dan Pallotta in the same breath as 🔗 The Future Found is definitely someone I need to talk to.
📺🔗 A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Season 1 ★★★
A total surprise and some great twists.
Once again - will return for the formal rating.
📺 I saw this promoted, checked out the trailer and realised I had watched it.
That is how memorable this show is … ★
Twelve years ago - 🔗📼🎵 I was there. Love you man.
🖋️ I think it might be who you hang out with
Brit here - and though Björk does not sit at the top of my favourite artists - she certainly is no where near the bottom and I do not recall that particular refrain ever being that common - which might explain her Wikipedia entry.
🔗 LLCs essentially create a precedent for AIs
Companies can own property, sign contracts, sue, be sued, spend money, and shape elections. But companies cannot be killed nor can they go to jail. They have many of the rights of people. They are not people.
💬 Brad Barrish
I guess Mitt forgot to tell us that?
📸🍎 The 🔗 LinkedIN post remains' meh' - BUT - I did like the associated image
Yes - yes - I did watch 📺🔗 Pluribus Season 1 .. finally - I mean it’s not a loser, but truly have a hard time understanding what everybody was raving about.
★★★
A question of understanding - because when I first read this post - I was attempting to reconcile zip (as in zip code) with ‘incompatible’ - confused because I had never heard of such a thing. As I am shuffling out my Drafts it dawned on me - of course - he’s talking Zip formats. 🤦🏼♂️
🔗 Why Is Everything Proprietary These Days?
how the fuck can a ZIP be incompatible??
💬 Kev Quirk
Watched - all 8 Homelands. Not in a binge I hasten to add and actually not too shabby - although Claire Danes does seem to act with 4 or 5 expressions to cover all eventualities. Suspension of belief is - as always with such shows - necessary. For all of that ★★★
