… the future is seen.
I used to use IFTTT a lot and then along came Zapier and now apparently there is Integrately.
How’s a boy to keep up?
They are clearly going after Zapier based on price
And yes - I recogize that I am probably 5 years out of date with my ‘news’.

A Different Take On Ikigai
Funny.
Thinking Allowed
This is a People First post that was originally on the People First domain. It has been moved here as part of my domain consolidation program. It’s a steady and slow WIP as I check each entry, so do please bear with me.- More about People First
- Other People First Posts
(not just from the ‘other domain’ … all of them.)
I like this spin
on IKIGAI
‘Riot’ is only part of ‘patriot’ because of spelling.
Talking of which …
There’s a Musk tweet circulating today that his bot legions and unthinking people seem to be amplifying.
Personally I like one of the replies far more.
Have to say the only person I know who is truly a slayer of dragons is @Moondeer … and so let me give him a shout out to celebrate this day … St. George’s Day.
St. George being the only other slayer of dragons I know.
Adding ‘Level Up’ to the pantheon of meaningless phrases that need to roll over and die.
Finally!!
Really happy to report that the redesign here at People First is done. More to come, but first spending a little time cleaning up some a lot of the older posts.

Just discovered 🔗 Future Wealth by Stanley M. Davis 📚 and added it to my ‘want to read’ bookshelf. The summaries I have read put it right in the middle of my 🔗 People First thinking
🔗 Still trying to get my head around ‘System’ … massive in scope - and yet only just getting started.
Wondering if anyone out there has spent time in there?
🎶🎵 As a 60s ‘pop song’, 🔗 Simon Dupree and the Big Sound’s Kites has always had a place in my heart.
As a progressive band, 🔗 Gentle Giant sits in my personal pantheon of musical influence.
Just discovered today that the latter were essentially the same band as the former. 🤯

Am I Dead?
You know in 🔗 Coco there is this idea that you need to be remembered to continue to live in the land of the dead?
I don’t think I am dead - but can anyone out there confirm?
Asking - because on three seperate occasions this past week - someone else has sought me out for a meeting, which I have confirmed and agreed to, only to then be totally ghosted.
I know. I know.
It’s not them … it’s me!
Not convinced this is an original Gaping Void image - but I do like it ….
