For all of how well anyone can think that they know a city …
🔗 The King’s Chapel of the Savoy …
is clearly a gem that I have missed over several years of walking right by it and never even knowing that it existed - much less visiting.
👁️ You know how they keep leaving New Zealand off world maps? Now we are disappearing from global surveys❗️Were NZ to be included in this survey, I believe they would surely be top right oo this graphic.
🔗 Ranked: Which Country Consumes the Most Coffee?
(No - not absolute - it is ‘per capita’)
🔗 Ranked: Wine Production by Country - it’s amazing how teeny tiny the Kiwi wine industry is - I mean GREAT quality - for sure - but presence on the world stage .. 1%.
🔗 Spying on People Through Airportr Luggage Delivery Service - Schneier on Security
The devil is the detail. Always in the detail.

Always liked Ashton’s thinking - another writer that fell off my RSS tracker that I am reconnecting with as I sort out my RSS feeds.

Now this I want to try.
🔗 Ranked: Number of Trade Agreements Across 30 Economies
Parking this here as a thought that will feed into a piece I am ‘assembling’.
🔗 Meta is killing off Messenger’s Mac app for unknown reasons.
I think ‘undeclared reasons’ would be more accurate. We all know what the money grubbing branch of hell is really doing.

Reproducing the whole image because the news - that we all know - is buried.
What on earth happened between 2024 and 2025 in America for goodness sake.
I read this over on Gaping Void and thought wait - there’s a much older - more famous story - so I found it for you - so you didn’t have to.
🔗 Why GM Will Give You Gemini But Not CarPlay
If GM goes through with this abandonment of CarPlay, I don’t see how they’ll continue to sell any vehicles to rental agencies. I would never rent a car without CarPlay, and I would never consider signing up for a GM cloud service just to drive a rental car. Complete dealbreakers.
💯- well maybe 95 - either way it smells like a short term thinking decision.
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.

Should I house my new Structured Thought wiki at wiki.philpin.com - or leave it at 🔗 notes.philpin.com?
Filed under important questions that have no right answer.
The logo in my email signature in 🍎📧 just stopped rendering earlier this week. Took until today to work out what was wrong - noting that I hadn’t changed anything.
As of this morning … fixed - though no idea why it stopped working to begin with.
🔗📼😂 I know exactly how Kevin feels.
