Probably yes, though that may not mean what people expect.

Had a play with 🔗 AI Site Builder from Wordpress. It’s going to take some tunings and prompts to make it really play nice - requiring time I have not got for a project I do not have. Still. Interesting.
Time To Self Medicate
Is Silicon Valley a destination, or just part of the journey?
… and where is it anyway?
… oh and why, despite the best attempts, countries all over the world seem to fall short of replicating it.

Work Life Balance
Chris Lockhead dropped a post on LinkedIN regarding retirement.
To me retirement is the macro version of the daily work-life balance.
It solves the wrong problem really well.

If you use Bluesky - and you like to tinker - well - say good bye to your Easter Weekend …
I was having a couple o’ beers last night with a friend and of course our conversation drifted into a gamut of topics - including music - I mean with me - doesn’t it always? But also masks. Oh and the connectedness of things. And prior lives and … and … and on the way home my mind recalled something I wrote a few years ago;

Enjoy.
Yet another 🔗🎵AlbumWhale list.
As the intro says …
I am not a singles guy BUT there are some wonderful tracks out there, that wouldn’t make it to my lists if not careful. This list of albums is made up of albums that are only there because it includes one very specific track - which is WHY the album is here. (Not to say it isn’t a good album - not that other songs aren’t great, and is all to say that the track named on the album notes is why the album is on the list. 🎵 I also have an apple playlist of the featured tracks.

🔗 Israel is About to Empty Gaza - Chris Hedges
I find that Hedges often stands out by speaking out - loudly - about things that nobody even talks about. It used to be real hard to have that courage. Today? We should be pinning medals on him - except he would probably refuse them.

Reminded me of 2 YouTubes by Map Men’s Jay Foreman
🔗📼 The Tube Map nearly looked very different
🔗📼 What went wrong with the Tube Map?
Around 7:45 in video 2 is where Jay highlights the fiasco that is (now moving to was) the New York map …
with the notable exception of the New York subway that insists on being as baffling and ugly as possible.
Do watch HIGHLY recommend - and definitely not a map nerd. (particularly)
🔗 Mapped: Which Countries Produce the Most Silver?
… in case you are wondering;
-
Mexico is at number one - and double the country in second place.
-
The U.S.A. is at number nine - producing around a third of that same country in second place.
Number 2? JINA
Just posted this on LinkedIN …
Go back a while and I used to explain the difference in the politics of the US, where I lived and the UK, where I’m from .. in that the vast majority of the ‘left’ in the US were still to the right of the vast majority of the ‘right’ in the UK. No analysis, just how I felt as a dude on his life’s journey. Thank you for providing the explanation that supports my long held feelings.
… as a comment on a Simon Wardley post - 🔗 which you can find here
I love how he is broadening out his subject matter from his maps - but still ties them in.
