📺 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.

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

If I don’t say those words when I work with some AI model - I feel rude.


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.

😂😂😂



📸 🌊 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.


🎈138/366

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?


🎈137/366 📸 Mmmm …

Whichever way you look at it

.. and tasted rather good.

German Language Podcast.
In 🍎 Podcasts - you can see the German language transcription.
BUT - you can’t copy the whole thing.
Looks like you can.
But you can’t.

I use software to record meetings.

Ooh I thought.

Play the podcast - and record - at end of podcast one german transcription. Run that through a translator and voila … or so I thought.

I did an experiment - thankfully.

What the software actually seems to have done is taken the german audio and decided as best it could as to what the german audio was saying - as if it was English.

This was the transcription ..
