I read Draper VC; SolidBlock Startup Pitch Competition and thought wait, ‘Fractional Ownership’? Isn’t that ’Timeshare’?
Well according to Athena Law - no … Timeshare and Fractional Ownership Differences
Still doesn’t smell right.
Bricktrade for example.
More investigation.
Oh interesting… Connect to Instapaper/Pocket NOT to import all the stuff you’ve got there and move it here… No… this is just to identify the writers you’ve previously deemed to be interesting and now we can surface other writing by those people for you.

… as spineless as most Republicans.
So with the news I had to at least listen to the 🎶 band I had never heard of. Definitely not missed much, so won’t be bothering again. Nor should you.
Uh Oh

A quick 30 minute listen … one of my favorite interviewers talking to one of my favorite bloggers.
Makes me wonder if anything is going to be announced next week .. but somehow the date synchronization doesn’t seem right?
Setting an alert for Jan 1st 2023 to check back.
This past week I put my computer away to live only on the iPad. Managed to do a lot … but not everything. Have to say, if I spent the time, I probably could have done more … but knowing it was an experiment, some tasks I just decided to hold off on.
Then I read this.
The iPad’s Biggest Limitation and I have also read that even ‘Federico’ is no longer iPad only.
I know we have a few iPad only people in here … @pimoore particularly seems to be able to do way more in iPad only than I would ever think possible … but still, wondering what the dreams, needs, wishes and hopes of this community for next week’s announcements in the iPad world?

My bold - BUT - if that really is the reason - why not set up an office in a different city - in Texas or Florida say
