What could be more fun than ‘sliding down a frog’s tongue’?
Facebook does deliver the occasional humorous meme ….
4Privacy is another interesting site found by the inimitable Doc Searls.
Looks like they are launching via Kickstarter- as of writing;
13,052 backers pledged $604,985 to help bring this project to life.
Now THAT is dedication.
No ‘rain stop play’ here for the local Petanque League - they just get on with it!
‘Language Is Important' - a new category now available on this blog.
LATER
Category depricated - that said 🔗 🔎 click here - and all those posts re categorized will come up - along with a lot more.
“After his shocking exit from CNN, the TV executive's legacy will come into focus. And his most fateful decision will be the attention given to Donald Trump and its lasting fallout.”
Funny - it’s not in the copy - but I love that file name : jeff-zucker-donald-trumo-cnn
A Hot New Watch
A hot new watch from IDZ … or is it?
They call it ‘The Identity Watch’. The web site reads more as a manifesto for privacy, data security and identity, I love it!
What Is The Watch?
- An Identifier - To allow you to identify with different services
- An Authenticator - To increase the value of your ZINDEX and the security of your ID
- A Health tracker - To allow you to track all your fitness data in the health

By the way - if you want one, even they say it’s expensive and the buy button takes you to Open Sea (according to their web site / he first and largest NFT Market Place) … get your crypto ready!
“If you wrote something for which someone sent you a check, if you cashed the check and it didn’t bounce, and if you then paid the light bill with the money, I consider you talented.”
“One day somebody will explain to me why it is that, at a time when science has never been wiser, or the truth more stark, or human knowledge more available, populists and liars are in such pressing demand.”

“If, at the end of your show you say “Available where you get podcasts,” then my friend, you have a podcast. If you have to say “Only available on Spotify” (or some other exclusive service), good for you, but it’s not a podcast.”
💬 Dave Winer
… and I very much agree with him.
Language is important … and I am done with Corporates hijacking language so to appear better than they are.
I’ve always liked this particular … what? Installation? First time I’ve had a chance to capture it properly.
A scroll through my podcast feed reveals a lot of commentary on Spotify / Rogan … has Spotify / Rogan said anything beyond mind numbing yadda yadda yadda / learning moment / will do better crapola ?
Asking as CNN fired Zucker for telling a lie.
We Are Open - Again!
It’s a new year, and a spectacular new one at that. More of that to come - but good reasons for my extended absence.
As we reopen the doors, I have decided to offer up some shorter thought posts and links beyond the longer articles that I have put here in the past. So along with a new workflow that utilizes Drafts I am hoping that you will find more to read, more regularly - but not necessarily taking more time.
Might also be a good time to remind you that there is a newsletter available, that can get delivered to your inbox. Just like this blog and the podcast, it too has been in hiatus. It’s coming back - but not yet reached it’s weekly cadence.
Onwards - and my thanks for your attention and support.
Now that is an interesting service.
I have been watching a 3 year old 60 inch Samsung and now dealing with an 8 year old Sony 42 inch.
Everything on Sony is very dull - despite setting picture to ‘vivid’.
Did picture quality really improve that much in just 5 years - or is there a setting I am missing somewhere?
Another Facebook meme … that looks like it came from Tweetville ….
🔗 The Crypto Crash Has Destroyed a Trillion Dollars in Wealth
I question the use of the word ‘wealth’.
The $1Trillion came from nowhere … and now it’s gone back to nowhere.
Spotify’s Joe Rogan problem stems from its transition to podcast producer.
… and Rogan is very sorry ( he said ) … so that’s alright then.
Nothing about him being suspended - we’ll leave that to ABC suspending Ms. Goldberg … as I said yesterday … bit by bit good people are being removed and silenced … meanwhile seditionists are still in the congress and the senate .. the chief seditionist and sexual predator is the current favorite to be the 2024 Republican Presidential nominee and nobody of any note has yet to be charged - not even Known sex trafficker Matt Gaetz.
We are well beyond shooting ourselves in the foot - and onto serial suicide ( sounds impossible doesn’t it?)
