🔗 WWW
There are a lot of links out to different parts of the web on this site. I try to mark them all so they get listed here.
Jax and I took a little tiki tour of our ' ‘hood favourites ’ on Saturday - including an extended session in my ‘favourite of the favourites’ … The Tinted Rose … who have extended their range of available 🔗 Lady H Gins.
🔗 My latest newsletter explores the eternal debate .. ‘Maths - discovered or invented?’
But it’s not only about that … it’s an introduction to a follow up issue where I will be exploring ‘Pattern Breaking’.
(Except it isn’t my ‘latest’ - just another post I discovered on my test blog!
I was delighted to be joined on the People First podcast by Ramsey Avery who is the Production Designer for the Amazon series - Lord of the Rings - Rings of Power.
Wonderful conversation that I know you will enjoy.
🔗🎙️ Ramsey Avery - The Lord Of The Rings - The Rings Of Power
Discovered on my test blog from a year ago. (Clearly a space I don’t use a lot!)
There really is a site for everything - though a very incomplete list …
Reinvention Summit:the end of equilibrium.
Words from my friend Stuart Maister - over in the UK …
The idea of transformation is dead. That’s because it assumes you go from one equlibrium state to another through a change process. But the theme of the Reinvention Summit in Dublin was that there is no equlibrium, only permanent change. So continual reinvention replaces transformation as a process.
I was taken with Stuart’s conclusion …
My big idea to this is simple: it is critical to have strategic clarity so that you adapt, change and transform your activities within a clear and well defined mission.
… because that’s what my friends at 🔗 Vantaset talk about.
Come to think of it - a lot of people talk about it - the real challenge is pulling it off.
It is that that makes Vantaset truly revolutionary. because they do exactly that for business after business. Organisation after organisation.
It’s a Facebook Reel … doesn’t make it any less 😂🔗 funny
🔗📹 a day of celebration … one of the better summaries of NoKings Day .. and on Facebook of all places.
Part Two Of The ‘Ages’ Series
The Age of Experience is rising even as the Age of Reason declines. Not to erase it, but to end its monopoly. Power is shifting from rigid logic and control to lived insight, emotional depth, and adaptive thinking, where success depends on how well you sense, respond, and connect. How then does Business adapt to survive?

Has the civil war started?
Yes, I’m the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I’m not, you see
I’m wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you’re still around
Pretty sure that when Buck Ram wrote those lyrics - he was talking about losing someone else. Tяump ? Just a nobody. The latest in a long line of pretenders.
🔗📼 In 8 minutes, Gavin Newsom calls the people of America to action.
Your choice how much you want to be involved, but when you are picked up one day and dropped off the next in some hell hole … don’t say you weren’t warned.
💬 Listening to 🔗🎙️this - Kara and Jesse Armstrong talking about Mountainhead - and this pops up in my Readwise.
SYNCH
🔗 The Ten Warning Signs - Ted Gioia
GREAT READ
I think my 🖇️ Age of Reason » Age of Experience themes that I have been writing about recently are totally in synch.
🔗🎙️Kafka talking to Jay Graber - an interesting listen - BUT my takeaway as a casual listener was that sites like ‘PinkSky’ are the long awaited ‘seperate instances’ to Bluesky. But no.
There is still not a Bluesky instance that is not on Bluesky.
Disingenuous - or did I mishear?
🎬 I watched ‘Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning’ over the weekend. From beginning to end.
Popped over to Letterboxd to review - to discover 🔗 I had already done that! - and that story says all you need to know about how memorable it was!
So Dave Barry’s 🔗 Mission: Highly Improbable ❓

Are Blogs Dead?
A short chat last week sparked a familiar question:
“Is blog even the right word anymore? Do people still use them? Isn’t the whole thing outdated?”
Yes. Yes. And no.
