📸 🌊 A Storm Last Night?
The storm that went through last night made the power flicker and took out the internet … you wouldn’t think so based on how the day started …
And then just a bit later …
Although … 30 minutes after that …
I’m old enough to remember the Boesky trials and the public furor .. ok .. no internet .. the media furor.. today, it would be barely a blip on the radar.
Miss Ken. So spot on.
🎈141/366 Is Scott Galloway the American Tech version of Clarkson?
📸 🌊 Another in the ongoing series that isn’t yet a clear series.
I am no fan of the orange douche .. but the Biden campaign’s tweet on the crappy podium is misguided and not right. The clip they circulated was actually quite funny .. demonstrated fast thinking .. the ‘leaning left’ pun particularly clever and the words in their headline are misleading .. his dig was not at this event workers but the contractor .. who #HadOneJob
📸 For nearly winter it’s pretty nice…
More tenders on the beach than I have seen for a while.
See what I mean?
And some larger boats parked outside the usual ‘lot’.
🎈140/366 You know the problem with great new features being added to Micro Blog?
You have to keep on learning more CSS to keep it ‘pretty’
Not complaining now - but seriously the last adjustments were only last weekend!
GREAT job @manton
📸 🌊 Toying with a short mini series - and if I decide to do it - I will be back.
LATER : ‘BACK’ 27th May.
To explain I removed the ‘WIP’ sign so if you got to this post from that other post about the WIP - it’s gone. Does that make any sense?
📺 Sugar
Stunning .. great job from Colin F .. but the homage to ‘noir’ yet modern, the direction, the cinematography, the colors, the lights, the nuance … everything. Just so good.
I have read that people loved the mid season ‘twist’ …if we are talking last scene in episode 6 .. yeah no .. I had that scene in my head for a couple of episodes prior, so no twist for me. In fact, it happened to coincide with when I thought the show had finished .. and I 🖇️ even posted that I was very disappointed with the ending (EEJIT I am).
Anyway .. all this to say … loved it. If you have 🍎 📺, whatever else you are watching stop - and go take a look.

If I don’t say those words when I work with some AI model - I feel rude.
I opened Chat4o and my first words (audio input) after ‘hello’ were something like write me a quick post about Markdown. What is it. Why should I use it.
Response back - as written. No formatting. No editing.

Introduction
In the world of technology and software development, it is crucial to have proper documentation to ensure that information is organized and easily accessible. Markdown is lightweight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax, designed to be easily converted into HTML and other formats. It provides a simple way to structure content without the need for complex coding.
Why Use Markdown?
Markdown is widely used by developers, writers, and content creators for various reasons:
- Simplicity: Markdown uses plain text and a simple formatting syntax that is easy to learn.
- Portability: Markdown files can be opened on any text editor and easily converted to different formats.
- Flexibility: It supports various elements such as headers, lists, images, and links, making it versatile for different types of content.
- Readability: Markdown files are clean and easy to read in their raw form.
- Compatibility: It can be used on different platforms and is supported by many applications websites.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Markdown is a powerful tool for creating well-structured documents quickly and efficiently. Whether you are writing a blog post, documenting code, or creating content for the web, Markdown offers a simple and effective way to format your text. By incorporating Markdown into your workflow, you can streamline the documentation process and focus on creating great content.

I have worked with Macs for nearly (more than?) 20 years - and never once said hello to it - or please - or thank you ….

Shed a Tear🔗 - William Gallagher
The DECORATOR stands back to appreciate his day’s work. The entire wall is now painted. Satisfied, he collects his snap-tin, paint, brushes, ladder, etc., lights a cigarette stub and walks off.
While he’s been achieving that painted wall, the film crew cast have failed to do anything at all. So much effort, so much energy, so much time, and nothing achieved whatsoever.
Completely unrelated, I’ve been sitting and typing in this chair for the past few days while four men put up a shed in our garden.

Thrutopian Futures anyone?
📸 🌊 This morning ..
I had an earlier one that looked good on a phone - but once it was here .. not so much. No - it wasn’t the upload - I checked the source. It just #sucked
📺 Safe House
Meh. Look carefully you will see I didn’t dislike it. Equally, I didn’t like. I liked the premise - each series an entirely different cast, set of characters - even the Safe House itself was a different house (and yes - I did watch both) … but still. MEH.

What Will The Cathedrals Of The Future Be ... Let Alone Look Like.
Cathedrals are places designed to show their creator’s opulence and power, but they’re also designed to alter our senses, to throw us into alternate worlds, so that they can open us our minds to change. If that’s the case, what will these places be in the 21st century?
Good question that was running through my mind when I stumble across this quote …
“In the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship.”
💬 David Foster Wallace
Worlds Colliding. The piece I was reading was 🔗 Cathedrals of the 21st Century from Unchartered Territories, that ends …
You can see similar processes at play today in places like courtrooms or parliaments, albeit more subdued: They are big, solemn, sound is controlled and there are ceremonies, serious uniforms…
… and then immediately …
But you can also apply the same principles and end up with a completely different setting and experience: nightclubs.
If that observation makes you sit up you should go read the whole thing. Also, some great images throughout as you read Tomas Pueyo’s observations across geography and time.
📸 A Thought For Your Day.
Ok …TWO Thoughts.

If Craft is the Word/Doc online equivalent to what Google Docs had the opportunity to be.
And Airtable is the Excel/Numbers online equivalent to what Google Sheets had the opportunity to be.
Then
What is the Powerpoint/Keynote online equivalent to what Google Slides had the opportunity to be?
Figma, Miro and Canva don’t seem to be it?
