Day 26: commitment
The commitment to this daily entry for November hasn’t been too onerous.
Yes it’s a real site. No it isn’t where you can go hire an actual ‘hitman’, but that hasn’t stopped people asking and some of them are now doing time. Surely one for the next Darwin awards?

🎥 Slumdog Millionaire, 2008 - ★★★½
Probably one of those times where the film could never live up to the expectations … and yes it’s taken me 15 years to watch it! It was ok .. but for me the best part was the dance on the station platform at the end!
Anybody else struggling with Real Me Auth between Mastodon and their chosen web site?
I forget that WebEx is still around .. and Skype for that matter.
Trying to work out why Day 23 is not showing up - I checked, the category is correctly checked.
A Draw!

Need to go check whether I still have my copy from when I was a student.
Day 25: ritual
Being English and currently based in New Zealand, the ritual of Thanksgiving is not on my calendar for this year.
But if it is for you - may I take this moment and wish you a ‘Happy Thanksgiving’.
Love Eno and Jean Michel - so HAD to listen to this (Apple Music link). I try not to share Apple specific links to music but in this case, that is precisely the point. I am listening to it on my computer - no extra special speakers … and oh my.
Put the actual music aside (which is dependent on your own particular taste) - it’s the sound, the mix, the engineering .
‘Two chaps’ launched this newsletter as a companion piece to their blog three years ago. (A step too far?) Two issues later they even closed the blog. (This is the archive - apologies formatting seems to be ‘munted')
Chatting the other day and well. Once more with feeling?
“Like having a child, you forget the pain of having that child three months later, a year later. We want to be in a dream business.”

Doug’s knowledge of childbirth can only be observation. Not experience.
Just like Sequoia’s pain after the FTX fallout?

Listening Brands was published late 2015. We had regionally based (and placed) ads then.
I guess he is talking about fully personalized ads, where I see an ad for music, and my neighbour sees one for sport. That still isn’t here on TV and won’t be for a while. If ever.
