Oh the irony …
And we’re off … and the response?
Strong words.
My Pinboard renewal is coming up. I think I will let it lapse. Raindrop seems to be winning that share of my mind.
The headline reads:
“U.K.’s Boris Johnson Ends Covid Rules in England in Major Policy Shift”
Presumably the politicians of Scotland, N.Ireland and Wales disagree with the move.
England does need its own representation.
Only the English are held to the whims of Boris.
Honesty at last !!!

Two Posts - Many Coins
This post, by Dave Rosenthal caught my eye this morning. It's long, it’s deep and is written with authority and knowledge.
Who is David Rosenthal? In his words
I worked with James Gosling on CMU's Andrew project in the early 80s. I was a DE with him at Sun later in the 80s working on window systems including X, and file systems. I quit to be employee #4 at Nvidia where Curtis Priem and I did the basic I/O architecture, then was an early employee at Vitria, the second company of founders of Tibco. Before I start talking about cryptocurrencies, I should stress that I hold no long or short positions in cryptocurrencies, their derivatives or related companies.

It obviously also caught Cory Doctorow's eyes, because he went on to write a post as well. To many Cory's will be more readable - I guess helped by him being a professional writer and Dave's original post actually being a summary of notes and slides he presented at Stanford's EE380 Whether you read Dave’s or Cory’s - if not both, the conclusion is the same ...

I prefer the reading experience of Apple Books over the Kindle - a LOT - but I guess I now need to assess exactly how much a ‘lot’ is.
60% more?
LATER : Make sure you read the comments below. What can I say - operator error!
I loved Web 3 is Going Just Great - and then it just stopped.
Over the weekend I found it again.
Looks like she changed the blog’s name - and unwittingly (?) the RSS feed’s URL.
Why I Might Not Revisit An Awesome Experience
Stone Age culture in the Orkney islands
When I was eight years old, we took a family trip to the Orkney islands off the north coast of Scotland. I don’t know why we went there particularly, but it was amazing. I almost don’t want to go back because it might break the spell the place has cast over my life.
I was 18 when I did that journey (sans family)
Never been back - despite it being amazing. Not really thought about it before - but I think subconsciously Doug has drawn out my reasoning.
Next time you’re at a friend’s house and want to write down the title of one of their books, you can just pull out your phone and scan in the barcode on the back of the book - we will find it in split seconds for you to add to your library.
Nice!
Ok time to get back to my bookshelves - first job … centering them on the page.

Nice way to think about it. To phrase it.

Dear Medium
Ummm - no thanks!
Sweet little bar for a small celebration.

It’s the first part of the headline that really caught my eye … the second part, not so much.
