📽️ I have been watching ‘Sugar’ - and impressed throughout. Great job. Until last night - the final episode - and I was so upset. LIKE - DUH - we all knew that - but what about everything else? It was all so up in the air. VERY disappointed.
Today I go an alert that Episode 7 was coming May 10th
🤦♂️ … of course the bloody thing hadn’t finished - they are doing the one a week drop thing!
Funny, worth a click through - unless you don’t think this is funny …
Last weekend, the drive up to London was improved by listening to a Sherlock Holmes audiobook on the car’s CD player. I was amused by my inability to follow the plot as closely as I would have liked, and put this down to middle age. It was only when I arrived at my destination that I realised the CD player was on “shuffle” mode.
🎈125/366 I got a new gizmo yesterday - and all happy that it had USBC charging … to get home, unbox and find that the provide charging cable had USBC at one end and USBA at the other.
😂
🖇️ 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!
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.
🔗🎵📼 The Mariachis with Hugh Cornwell perform Golden Brown
🎈122/366 Not dissimilar jobs when you think about it …
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 January … The 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.
