MarsEdit feature request please @danielpunkass
When viewing pages and posts you can sort by any of the columns you have selected. Would not just be cool but very useful to be able to filter - so as you ONLY see say ‘drafts’.
Added bonus… have the search only work on what the filter exposes - so i can filter all blogs except (say) micro.blog and search for term ‘marsedit’ and only the posts in micro.blog with mars edit would show up.
Vocabulary
... a building block of Language, one of the Tenets of People First. We are developing and sharing a new vocabulary that continues to evolve in the course of
We use this vocabulary to shift the topics and change the conversation about how we put People First in the work we do and the way we live.

BizCatalyst are releasing a four part series on data that I submitted.
To be clear … as I said in the first article
”(the) four-part series is non-technical, hopefully fun, definitely not definitive and absolutely a work in progress.
The Value Of People
There's some fucking guy, scientist or something. Real sick bastard. Says he measured out the remains, the cremated remains of a dead man. Measured out the, uh, minerals left behind, you know? The iron phosphates, the ... whatever it is we're made up of. Says he added it all up to the cost of $4.40.
$4.40. Burnt down man's worth less than a fucking Big Mac.
Michael Grey played by Liam Cunningham in The Numbers Station
I caught The Numbers Station over the weekend, and that is the opening dialogue. It resonated. I know nought of the truth - but it does seem about right.
After last week's newsletter, and the responses, I have thought about it more and more. How we as a society spend so much ... too much ... time reducing anything ... everything ... to a value based on the component parts.
We know that the click bait mongers of the internet write stuff like this - to save you the click through it’s all about adding together the cost of the sum of the parts of an iPhone - and thus by extrapolation conclude that Apple is - as we might say in England ... '
No - this is not a defence of Apple - but to ask a question.
Isn't this exactly what businesses do every day week, month and year to people. You earn a salary or wage based on what they consider is your worth to them while they rent you for the 40, 50, 60 hours each week that you are in their service?
But it's worse. The value is not just for the sum of your component parts, but actually for the sum of your component parts that they think they need, and everything else is ignored. Your component parts are what they have defined are needed to do the job that they have defined needs to be done. Everything else is of zero value.

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

(not just from the ‘other domain’ … all of them.)
🚧 People - Not Assets, Talent, Staff ... People
I just read this and decided to drop in a few People First tenets to remind us all .... the problem Kevin raises is not easily fixed - it is a systemic view of how people are seen by

Deliv switching California couriers to employees — ‘start of a wave’
Not the ‘gig' economy that you thought you knew. Sounds a bit like ‘flexible work hours’.
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
… am I wrong? If so, how? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Dear Apple - you know how you said that in the new version of Keynote you had
“Improved performance while collaborating on presentations.”
… yeah, well why the hell can’t I still add styles while in collaboration mode?
Good Grief!
I am on a bit of a roll with ‘Corporate Speak’ at the moment, so …
Listening in on three dudes talking.
”Oh yeah - I think we sunset that product.”
It’s a product people. You killed it, discontinued it, stopped making it , withdrew support …
Say it like it is!

The Working Day Is Done
No, not Cyndi ... Neil.
They say that life imitates art. In this particular
When the working day is through
Neil Hannon - Divine Comedy
And you're waiting in the rain
For another overdue
Overcrowded railway train
And the movie poster screams
"It's the best film ever seen!"
But it's all a different world
To which you have never been
And you're bored out of your mind
So you keep yourself amused
Reading the Financial Times
Of the fellow next to you
Then something in you snaps
And you shout with all your lungs
"We give and get nothing back!"
When the working day is done."
Unfair - possibly, but Hannon / Divine Comedy has a history of social observation. In this particular case and entire double album on Office Politics. Wont it be grand when we no longer have to deal with them?
Corporate Speak
I have a problem with ‘Corporate Speak’. Putting aside how ‘we the people’ seem to adopt corporate speak as part of our conversation - how else does ‘content’ become part of our day to day vocabulary? (Although that is an entirely different topic.)
Here’s the thing … the same organisations that use phrases like;
‘Share of Wallet’
‘Attacking and Targeting a Market’ (that’s you and me folks) and breaking down those
‘Adoption Barriers’
‘Taking the hill’
‘Users’ not ‘People’
And have something called a ‘War Room’ !!! - you know the place where Marketing meet to plan how to extract out last cent. Anyway these organisations are exactly the same organisations that say things like
‘Your Passion Is Our Satisfaction’,
‘Pleasing People Is Our Motto’ and
‘A Customer Is Always Right’.
Which language do you believe reflects the true nature of the corporation?
Me? I think what is said behind closed doors more often reflects the truth. What is broadcast in public is what they think we want to hear. It’s politics, not business, but isn’t that what happened to Mitt Romney?
This week’s newsletter explores corporate language and asks why have people just blindly adopted it without question? It doesn’t serve us - only the corporation.
If you read my words in other places, you might have seen this before. If you continue to read me, you will see it again -
”Art that inspires art inspiring art. Examining and questioning the same thing. We are more than a number, we are more than what we expose, we are more than what we want, even allow, others to see. We are, each and every one of us; individual and unique and different. We eschew categorization. We do not fit predictable patterns. Why allow corporations, enterprises, governments, marketers, advertisers to see us in that way?
Sign in with Apple is Apple fighting for user privacy, even if users don’t care.
Agree. Thankfully there are people and companies that still do what is right - even though we don’t know it.
If Facebook or Google create their own currency, they can control our lives.
You mean they don’t already?
”Even in fusty old Britain, the Cabinet Office has already considered using Facebook logins as a means for people to access social security benefits, make council tax payments and get a driver’s licence. Why would it not then think about what we may yet know as Librafication?
John Harris
Sometimes I just shake myself and wonder what runs through politicians minds.
A Facebook global currency … what could possibly go wrong?
