anyone else suddenly being asked by LinkedIN to verify themselves with a Govt ID?
If you want any proof that facts no longer matter ….
Since April based on the rumor of one man, shares rose 73%.
Those same shares dropped 8% over night on the facts that revenue only grew 2%, profit dropped 45%, a second quarter of reduced deliveries of product, missed Wall Street Forecasts of the FOURTH quarter and delivery of that very rumor is delayed.
🪦 A force of nature. A musician’s musician. A great ride and a phenomenal catalogue. You gave us you .. and everyone else. Farewell John and thank you.
Ganapathy Kumar has 2 Billion Views on Unsplash .. that’s billion … with a ‘B’.
Kier Starmer opened last week’s European Political Community Meeting. He talked for a little over 10 minutes and a full 25% of that speech was devoted to the exact problem we are working on at The Future Found. I think this clip might find itself on the new site we are currently building.
That’s my Alibi .. and I’m sticking to it.
Uplighting seemed to be a speciality of the establishment.
The beer is in the room next door, love the delivery mechanism.
For your tasting pleasure.
Noting that Google have taken it upon themselves to destroy even more of the internet.
They know no bounds do they?
Galen Leather has a new notebook … very nice looking ..
I had nearly 100 podcasts in my queue … so purge time - again. Down to four and at the same time unfollowed a number of streams - mainly ‘tech’ ones where the host(s) are wandering off topic into subject areas that they clearly do not understand. #LifeIsToShort

I find a lot of Andrew Hickey’s observations quite insightful. Like this one ….
😂😂😂😂😂
Guilfoyle, who has not yet learned to speak, but has perfected the art of shouting, was in typically understated mode. (James Poniewozik, The New York Times’ chief TV critic, wrote that her speech had threatened to “Make America Deaf Again.”)
Remember all the crap about back door access being needed to a phone’s OS to protect us … yup … crap.
FBI agents used technology from Cellebrite, a company well known among law enforcement agencies for helping them access data on phones seized or recovered in criminal investigations, to quickly access a cellphone they found with Crooks’s body, people familiar with the investigation told The Washington Post this week.
Four Dweebs who are on record with their douchiness does not constitute ‘all’ ‘VCs’ or ‘Silicon Valley’ who are the others racing towards a love affair with ‘Trance’ ?
I think they have confused their mushrooms with ‘the ticket’.
A new bank card for me involves a ceremony that includes cutting the old card into bits and distributing the bits into various places .. today I got my new 🍎💳, the ceremony needs a tweak .. replace scissors with hacksaw?
Play Misty For Me - as usual, no pre or post - just a 5 year old iPhone … Fun watching the mist battle with the sun.
Trying to decide if I should add more.
I’ve read a few of these from the various pundits - but I particulalrly liked this from @gruber 🔗 It’s the Guns, It’s the Guns, It’s the Guns
Is it really ‘VCs’ - or a tiny SUBCLASS of VCs?
Thiel, Andreesen, Musk .. I see all the Valley’s Nut Jobs are revealing themselves.
You Can't Buy Snow Leopard via Apple.
Spoiler alert - I am talking about the book by Category Pirates, not Apple’s OSX.
I don’t recommend many business books .. in fact I don’t really recommend any, rather I recommend the authors, based on what I know, read and see them talking about. Christopher Lockhead is one such person and last week I recommended him again.
Email received this morning …
I tried buying Snow Leopard on Apple but only the audiobook is available.
I was more than a little surprised, but he’s not wrong. I even thought I’d sorted it ..by visiting the book on the 🔗 Category Pirates web site, see the link to ‘Apple Books’?
Yeah No. Apparently - click on that button and you are taken to Amazon.
Which is a good place to buy the hard copy - but this takes you to Kindle and sorry, no, not going to be doing that.
I wonder why no Apple Books? I was wondering whether it was the name - and its clash with an earlier OSX. But that was FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, and as mentioned above, the audio book is available.
Weird - right?
Fear not - I am on the case and if I get answers I will report back.
By the way - don’t try visiting that book page on a phone, or even the mini iPad - looks like there is something askew with the media settings for the site.
Your ancestors survived centuries of floods, wars, famine, slavery, and plagues for you to sit on the toilet and compare your life to people on the internet you’ve never met. Be grateful.
