Talking with my mother about the US/Iran negotiations and she dropped a gem, โIt takes Iranians 12 years to make a rug. You canโt expect them to negotiate peace in 1 day.โ

The Motley Fool asks: Where Will Apple Stock Be in 5 Years? โ Not reading this article is probably a wise decision.

I did not expect to see (I wont say โreadโ) an article called ๐ Jimi Hendrix’s Analog Wizardry Explained in an IEEE site when I โfeed perusedโ this morning - but it does connect.
Hendrix didnโt speak in decibels and ohm values, but he collaborated with engineers who didโMayer and Kramerโand iterated fast as a systems engineer. Reframing Hendrix as an engineer doesnโt diminish the art.
The whole piece is so funny - but I have set it to start at the point where Kevin is talking about a problem that I guarantee has affected you dear reader.

I do watch Jason - heโs another Liam in many ways - same character - same principles - same story - but make it entertaining. He usually delivers. But this little piece of knowledge I did not know.
๐ Shelter (2026) | Brandon’s Journal
Jason Statham is arguably the most reliable actor in Hollywood. He has at least one new movie out ever year and it’s always released theatrically. He actually holds the record for having over fifty live-action theatrical releases with no direct to DVD/streaming/VOD releases, which is impressive as hell. Is every movie great? Not at all (I’m looking at you Exp4ndables) but for the most part you know what you are going to get and he delivers.

๐ Adobe Is Mucking With Usersโ /etc/hosts Files โ Pixel Envy
I have precisely ONE product installed from Adobe - essentially using their equivalent of Documentum. I need to move to something else that is not Adobe or Documentum and release - I suspect - gigabytes of bloatware that I have always known is floating around the drive somewhere.
๐ The Moon was Never the Point - Gapingvoid
Like for like I would argue that there is some kind of normal distribution curve at play here … where Gapingvoid’s conclusion is correct in the centre - but wrong at the extremes.
5 - 50 and 500,000 are not ‘specific’.
Managing ‘5’ mini projects is easier than one project that encompasses those ‘5’ mini projects.
Managing ‘50’ mini projects is harder than one project that encompasses those ‘50’ mini projects.
Managing ‘500,000’ mini projects is easier than one project that encompasses those ‘500,000’ mini projects.
I should come back to this with more detail - lets see what the cognoscenti has to say … nothing - as usual - would be my guess.
Attention and trust continue their dance, and our choices determine how weโll show up in the marketplace. Burning trust to get attention rarely pays off.

In writing another post (coming soon), this joke from the mid 90s came to mind. It starts …
Gates dies in a car accident. He finds himself in purgatory, being sized up by St. Peter.
“Well, Bill, I’m really confused on this call; I’m not sure where to send you. After all, you helped society enormously by putting a computer in almost every home in America, yet you also created that ghastly Windows ‘95. I’m going to do something I’ve never done before. In your case; I’m going to let you decide whether you want to go to Heaven or Hell.”
Well, I spent a Saturday last month vibe coding a Hacker News clone. Took about 3 hours, most of which was me arguing with the AI about CSS.
