Today’s challenge is going to be .. hell .. IS .. HARD❗️
Take Apple News vs iBooks - they’re both reading apps, so why is it necessary to have two separate apps? Because they’re extremely different reading and writing experiences and it doesn’t make sense to lump them into a one-size-fits-all approach.
💬 Michael Tsai
Nailed it and why I don’t';
- read
- pdfs in 🍎 Books
- saved articles in a browser
- listen to podcasts
- in a music app
- on YouTUBE
BUT anything I highlight, save, make a note on/in ANY of the things I am reading, watching or listening to all ends up in the same place.
(Another discovery in ‘Drafts’ March 2023)
Just found this in my drafts folder from April 2023 ❗️
I wonder where they are going wrong ..
For the last 15 years, many companies chased ‘digital transformation.’ But if we’re honest, most of us didn’t transform, we digitised. We took analog processes and made them digital. We moved pieces to the cloud. We modernised within silos. We upgraded the present - instead of redesigning the future for a digital-first world.
💬 Brian Solis
** I have a draft that I clearly need to finish that is exactly along this theme although I call it a ‘**data-lead people first world’.
A reminder from 🔗 Brian Solis - possibly a riff on John Caswell’s mantra - “the last thing you need near a problem is an expert”.
When Steve Jobs was finally convinced to pursue the iPhone (and he had to be convinced), he gathered his inner circle and asked: Who should we bring into this project? Naturally, the team responded like experts, they brought forward the “smartest people” in the industry.
Jobs exploded.
“I don’t want anyone to work on the iPhone if they’ve worked on a phone,” he said (minus the expletives). “Because we’re not building a phone.”
Rewatched 🎥 🔗 The Thursday Murder Club last night. Turns out the first time I watched it I didn’t log it.
At the time I remember I gave it 3 stars - because being a big fan of the books - expectations high.
Now I give it 4 - Because I wasn’t expecting much.
I guess the truth sits at around 3 1/2.
🔗 Responding to Bill Bennet’s article.
The dependencies are clear - but if the EU, with 450 million people and deep talent pools, is only now waking up to the fact they can’t compete …
I watched this when it first came out - with great anticipation - being a fan of the books and all - and ... sadly disappointed. Nice enough. If there was a follow up - would watch that - but definitely fell flat.
It’s 2025 - more than 50 years since The British Tabloids dubbed Andrew (formally known as Prince) ‘Randy Andy’. I continue to be surprised that people are surprised at how this all turned out.
I think it was @jsonbecker that wrote a post about 🔗 Introducing CSS Grid Lanes | WebKit - which I am only just getting\g around to look at and wondering - anyone get this working against their photo library in Micro Blog?
