It Must Be Me. Not You.
That day you walk into a coffee bar with a big beautiful Espresso Machine behind the cashier.
“A latte please.
Sorry?
“A latte”
Cross talk behind the scenes asking someone else if they know what I was talking about.
A third person enters the scene ….
How can we help?
“A latte please.”
She turns to the two young kids …
Latte … It’s a coffee drink …
Oh … never heard of that … thank you.
Third person turns around and starts to make the drink … The coffee appears and she disappears behind a curtain, to emerge three minutes later with one of those ice blended abominations.
“No. sorry, I wanted a Latte.”
So you’ve changed your mind?
“No. Not at all. I have wanted a Latte since I came into the store.”
She turned around and made one.
It really is rather nice … But what did they THINK I was talking about?
…. and so with the Apple event behind us - let us return once more to rampant frivolity.
iPhoneX ‘r’
iPhoneX ‘s’
and should have been
iPhoneX ‘t’
… too obvious?
I am pretty sure that Phil just recites this stuff off the top of his head … no teleprompter needed … he rolls that way.
Can’t wait to have everyone listening and talking to their iPhones without headphones … I think Hieroymous Bosch painted that vision somewhere.
They need a ‘Chief Product Naming Officer’ at Apple.
Every year … “we are delighted to be releasing the most advanced iPhone we have ever created” … would be sad if it wasn’t … no?
Hermes … where the straps are four times the price of the watch.
All day battery life … that’s 18 hours … the space time continuum over at Cupertino must be something else!
Historical analysis to explain the day? We will see.
I was wondering how Kavanaugh was going to get away with it … He did seem to be and then today I read that Evidence of Kavanaugh Perjury Mounts After Durbin Releases More “Confidential” Documents … So maybe he won’t.
Algorithms to fix underrepresentation on Wikipedia
Now that is very cool.
Apple Events App downloaded and queued.
Coffee imbibing in process.
And though most of the news is going to be about the phones that are going to be the new iPhone X … I think I am more interested in everything else.
Amazon Delivery Drivers Reveal Claims of Disturbing Work Conditions
File in the cheap T-shirt’s / Taxi Rides / Food / Plane Rides et al bucket.
This past week, I had occasion to interact with a number of organizations. I now have proof of what we all suspect …
Large Organizations have Bad Service. Small Organizations have Great Service.
Things To OmniFocus
I know there are others like me that work with both.This reddit thread points to a great script to pull data out of Things into CSV. Works as it says on the tin.
Next step .. get CSV into OPML so that OmniFocus can import!
One Step At A Time. 😊
Editorial: Trump’s White House divided - SFChronicle.com
… well that says that the Whitehouse IS representative of the country.
More On Kavanaugh
“He refused to answer a yes or no question about whether he had discussed Robert Mueller’s investigation with one of Trump’s attorneys.”
Matt Kiser
There is clear proof that he has lied to the Senate in the past - why stop now?
Kavanaugh Will Kill the Constitution.
