“A warm beautiful ocean with sunlight and clouds with a sunrise and sparkles on the water and a hint of lavender and jasmine or roses” was the request I made on ‘Dall-E mini’.
I am in line for the real thing - but only 2,500 people have been accepted so far ☹️.
… and so farewell justgoodmusic.net - it was fun.
🎶 Def Leppard Mark 45th Anniversary With New Gins
… because what better way to celebrate 45 years of Heavy Metal than drinking Gin!

Finding it hard to get a new job? Robot recruiters might be to blame.
It’s bad enough that you have to alter your behaviour and who you are to get your post read on social media, much less to tune your entire career history to keywords that some bot can understand.

I was thinking about that Rummy quote today - you know the known / unknowns one … and it struck me that he doesn’t cover off ‘unknown knowns’ …. that is ‘things that we don’t know we know’.
It’s an important piece that is missing. No?
Oooooh … Peaky 6
‘Quitting for Beginners’ .. who knew that there were stages of skills associated in the fine art of quitting.
I’d clearly been quitting all wrong.
And then the brain engaged ….
Quilting … ‘Quilting for Beginners’.
What happened to Web 4?
Dear OSX Daily - are headlines like this really necessary?
I read and hear such a lot of Apple negativity from Apple Developers, that finding just one article of positivity is not easy. (Maybe I follow the wrong people?)
Still, A Tangible Demonstration of Care - David Smith an Independent iOS Developer is a definite exception to the rule - and a real breath of fresh air.
Inspiring enough that I decided that now is the time to go relook at his widgets app.
(I had previously, I just don’t didn’t tinker enough to warrant the app.
But that excuse predates ‘16’ and the ‘lock screen’.
A Good Idea That Might Go Wrong OR A Bad Idea That Will Get Worse?
A New Prediction Market Lets Investors Bet Big on Almost Anything - I see it is behind a paywall - but you can read it all on Apple News
The article is about a ‘new’ prediction market : Kalshi - which initially had problems with getting approval …
“But their concerns were overruled by the agency’s politically appointed commissioners, one of whom has since joined Kalshi’s board.”
The concerns are clear - but for all of that - I can’t help wondering if this still might be a good idea. (Revolving doors between government and commerce aside.)
Of course - they aren’t the first. Heard of predictit (I never knew it was a Kiwi play.)
For 25-year-old predictions, I would have expected to see these two all over the press in 2022 - but not yet?
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.
Apple Maps lets users add multiple stops to a route, and sync them between iOS and Macs.
To borrow from @gruber …. FINALLY!
U.K.’s Boris Johnson Survives No-Confidence Vote Over Lockdown Parties (WaPo behind the wall - so not read it - but wouldn’t anyway.)
… 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.
