🖇️ Me - in the middle of April - but had been having the problem (an out of control mouse) for a lot longer.

Cracked the issue this morning.

Sidecar.

It seems recently that I have not been closing my iPad, and so my Mac believes that I have a second screen.

Issue resolved.


🎈124/366 In The UNdaunted Collective I put up a new action group called ‘The Intersection’. I will explain more, I think some of you might be interested in joining.

Job 1 : A concise summary of what and why it is.
Job 2 : Share with you all - to see if my gut is right.

Job 0 : Launch 🔗 The UNdaunted!

At the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366. Also - if you are wondering how I have update the words at the bottom of over 100 posts at a stroke, well - THANK YOU Andy Sylvester and his Glossary plugin.

London’s Evening Standard is running a piece with ‘Biblical Storm’ in the headline.

Me? I just got my popcorn out for the countdown to the complaints.


🖇️ Me a couple of days ago ending with ‘wondering what ‘Rob’ will say.

Now we know.

He just delivered a great story - as always and funny. He didn’t say it the way I did (mainly because he has more talent) … but I think we agree. Take a listen.

I have referenced 🔎 🖇️ The UNDaunted on this blog a few times. On a call this morning - and we are going live in two weeks . Letting a few friends and family in early. If you are into Social Impact - you are going to love The UNDaunted. Hit me up in whatever way makes sense to learn more.


I love Rick Beato’s podcast channel and Ted Gioia’s writing and so was delighted to watch this meeting of minds last night …

🎈123/366 For your most happy listening pleasure … put me in such a good mood.

Is it me?

Someone knows I am in ‘deck mode’ - and sent me a link. This is the home page proudly stating

“our most popular presentations and pitch deck from top companies and startups.”

Grammar aside - not one of them has a view ≠ ‘0’.

No I didn’t bother exploring more.


🔗 Cigarettes After Sex are playing Madison Garden.

Don’t worry, I hadn’t heard of them either.

🔗 🎵 Apocalypse is their ‘biggie’. (1,233,307,237 streams. Apparently, I must have been under my rock at the time.)

🔗 🎵 📼 Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven (But Nobody Wants to Die) - not as many!


That's Entertainment ...

No - 🎵🔗 not this

We knew Ms. Redstone wanted out. Looks like it’s going to happen.

And Ellison’s Skydance seems to be in the frame for the preferred acquirer which I definitely do not get - but sure why not?

I look forward to opinions from people like Rob Long and Peter Kafka, if I were to predict - I am guessing that Long in particular might be thinking like me. (Or am I thinking like him?)

The main question is what does David think he is buying and what does Shari think she is selling - because I think they are two very different things. But Heh! What do I know?

(Side Note - The ‘Ellison’ is Larry’s son - who seems to be turning out to be a media/entertainment version of technology dad.)


We’re getting there …


Have to say .. great coup for the Smartless guys .. let’s see how it pans out …


As I wrote in JanuaryThe Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon 📚is a wonderful little book .. so who knows why I am posting on April 30th that I have just finished it. Opinion not changed. Read it.


🎈121/366 I had been wondering about 🔗 Keycap Shine.

Then @gruber 🔗 explains even more today.

It all makes sense. Still bloody annoying.

At least I can stop polishing my keyboard.

Dana makes some good points in ‘🔗 Why Full Self Driving is a Fraud.’. And of course the US isn’t protectionist.


I have stopped using ‘mtg’ as an abbreviation for ‘meeting’ just to avoid being reminded of a dimwit.


Today in Tedium:

As you may know, Tedium is a blog and/or newsletter (we haven’t decided yet–I know, surprising nine years in) focused on questions that you never bothered to ask yourself, but are suddenly consumed by the second you hear them.

I know how they feel!

Oh - and in that piece - i got pointed to 🔗 The Story of the Social Security Number - I did not know how the numbers came to be and what they are.
