Are we adding 🎬 to the 📚 and 🎵 search capability any time soon?
🎵 5/10 A Little Heavier Than A Storm In A Teacup
The Scourge of Clickbait … nice piece from @gruber on @Apple scrapping the #iPhoneX … another piece of blame to lay at the feet of mainstream media.
Instant ‘Unicorn’ status … for a doorbell maker.
Apparently, it isn’t just a doorbell, it’s a #Platform
Is That How You Do It?
…. because, when you put it like that, it seems so easy … How to Write a Blog Post
I particularly liked the idea of ‘bumping’
Wait for time to pass and see if the bumping sound returns.
The Homepod
🎵 What’s in YOUR HomePod makes for a quick interesting summary of some of the tech that makes it what it is. Seemed right to share it here after yesterday’s to and fro, back and forth, this and that, well … you get the point.
The Funniest Comedian in the world apparently
I think I have just realized something …. if you open a MICRO.BLOG post with ‘@name’ as the first ‘word’ … then it automatically appears in the conversation thread … not as part of your main post … makes sense now I think about it.
And now … ?
Westminster council rejects Margaret Thatcher statue plans
Not surprised … other than .. wait Westminster Council ?

An Experiment

#Inspiration
Thanks to @frankm who was considering drafts to publish to micro.blog
#Idea
Use editorial … since I don’t use drafts and see what happens.
#Delivered
Well …. let’s see
… because this is really just an experiment
“Nothing underscores wealth inequality like paying someone to hold your place in line”

Do platforms like Uber empower or exploit workers?
Read for yourself - but I would argue that Platforms like Uber do not … but not all platforms are like Uber.
A Mathematician’s Lament
A friend of mine sent me this, written by Paul Lockhart. I don’t have time to read it in its entirety at the moment - but I have read sufficient of it to know that I do want to read it.
Posting here and a couple of other places to keep it top of mind.
The first thing to understand is that mathematics is an art. The difference between math and the other arts, such as music and painting, is that our culture does not recognize it as such.
Part of the problem is that nobody has the faintest idea what it is that mathematicians do.
... Paul Lockhart
I will come back to it at some point.

Oh my …. Stairway To Heaven like I have never heard!
Well worth a click through and listen ….
Arguably the entire micro blog warrants a Micro Monday … purely on the basis of this post! Many thanks for the share @Jacob
