🔗 Pejac Transforms Basic Graph Paper into Detailed, Trompe-L’œil Tableaux
Had to share just one of them …
Forever amazed how someone can pick up something like an empty ‘graph book’ and turn it into stunning art.
🔗 Nostalgia and Decay Meet Theatricality in Andrew Moore’s Dramatic Photos
Eclipsed by neglect. Beautiful in their fading obscurity.
Bernie and Elton came to mind - though they weren’t talking buildings ….
It’s sad, so sad, it’s a sad, sad situation
And it’s getting more and more absurd

Co working with Claude … 🤯
delete the entire public directory from the web - and upload this new directory - hell … why not❓
📸 What Victoria Market was before it was Victoria Market - where that 🖇️ Indian Restaurant is.
📸 Aerial view of Herne Bay - exactly 100 years ago. The big white buildings in the middle? The Tram Barns. Long gone. To give you a clue of how long ago that is - a number of the buildings built after the barns were demolished are of the Art Deco persuasion and are now ‘listed’ buildings.
📸 Just parked outside one of the better Indian Restaurants in Auckland …
🖇️ When I wrote this earlier today - i hadn’t received my daily Readwise … that somehow seems to connect ….
🔗 Ranked: Americans' Favorite News Sites
Key Takeaways
- BBC News has the highest approval rating among Americans at 51%.
- No other news website reaches 50% positive opinion among respondents.
- Yahoo News (48%) ranks second and is the top U.S.-based brand
My key takeaway is actually not called out …
ESPN (at 43%) is the third.
That explains so much about America
Brilliant and Lovely all at the same time.
“This Is Not The Computer For You” · Sam Henri Gold
The kid who tries to run Blender on a Chromebook doesn’t learn that his machine can’t handle it. He learns that Google decided he’s not allowed to. Those are completely different lessons.
➕
The reviews can tell you what a computer is for. They have very little interest in what you might become because of one.
🔗 Daring Fireball: PC Makers Are Not Ready for the MacBook Neo
This idea that because it’s “an iPhone chip” the Neo is not capable of, say, editing 4K video is utterly ignorant. You know what computers are fully capable of editing 4K video? iPhones.
🔗 Steve Blank - Your Startup Is Probably Dead On Arrival
If you started a company more than two years ago, it’s likely that many of your assumptions are no longer true.
➕
The bottleneck is no longer engineering. It’s moving up the stack to judgment, customer insight for desired outcomes and distribution.
Both true - and in the apps we are building there is heavy reliance on AI to do the ‘heavy’ lifting - I mean - we humans aren’t designed to lift heavy things (speaking from personal experience some 30 years ago) - BUT we are awfully good at being human - which our apps definitely lean into.
And then there is this …

… and it isn’t AI killing the dashboard - it’s designs like this that are killing the dashboard.
🔗 Apple’s real intelligence? Winning the waiting game | The Macalope
We’ve gone from “AI does everything so we can now lay off all our staff!” to “We have to lay off all our staff because AI is sucking all our resources.” It’s almost as if AI is being as an excuse for layoffs.
➕
Ha-ha! That would be silly! Because, in reality, we know that there really is no problem that cannot be solved by laying off vast swaths of the people who have devoted their careers to you. It’s just math.
🔗 The Last Quiet Thing | Terry Godier
Absolutely wonderful opening … superb and engaging layout .. do kept going .. and have to say the end was just as great … but there is a middle bit … quite a large middle bit - that is stuff I’ve read before .. we all (should) know .. that I found uninteresting and repetitive and (should ❓) be deleted.
But that shouldn’t stop you getting his RSS app which is great.
