Charlie: He said “Now what sort of husband was he”? “Oh”, she said “one of the best. You couldn’t wish for a better one”. She said, “We used to lie in bed, Sunday mornings, and hear the church bells ringing. We used to go up with the ding and come down with the dong”. And she’d say “if it hadn’t been for that fire engine going by, at the bloody time, he’d be alive now”.

Personally of the view that the story that he writes about is symptomatic of why we have problems as a society.

Agree? Wondering what I am talking about?

🔗 Evan Shapiro:

‘The Creator Economy’ is over and ‘The Affinity Economy’ is here.

I don’t live in the ‘xyz economy’ worlds - 🖇️ far too many to keep track of. BUT for a while now I have been talking and writing about the global movement from ‘Systems of Record’ to ‘Systems of Engagement’ - and the need for people and businesses to not throw away all of their systems and ‘drop in a new stack’ - but rather to start to think differently about what they already have and how to use that to ‘engage for the future’ and not ‘broadcast history’.

On that we seem to be aligned.

Over at 🔗 eg Innovations .. they have been thinking about ‘team alignment’ .. this short analysis tool is an interesting gateway to getting to answers as well as getting a better understanding of your own environment.

One person’s answers give you a data point. Ask your infrastructure, operations, application, service delivery and workplace teams to complete it independently, and you may find everyone has a different view of how well your monitoring actually performs. That gap between answers is the insight.

Frontier is a hard piece of software to get going, it’s got a lot of integrations, which you want when you’re using, but hard when you’re getting it all to work the first time.

🔗📼 I just received this from my friend Randall on Maui .. you might not know the name Steve Grimes. I did not. (Maybe @jsonbecker has?) - but clearly a great friend of Randall, a highly talented Luthier … and a lovely video to boot.

When I watched this video, it made me proud to live on Maui in Hawaii … with little thought of “America”.
