Hey nerds, I was not aware of how nerdy we are. Someone in my Certificate IV in Real Estate class right now just asked the trainer “how many people do you think are moving to smartphones”.

JQ940

I auditioned to join the Kyle & Jackie O show in 2011 & was flown to Sydney. In the interview the EP asked if it was ok for Kyle to call me a c**t, so him defending Denis Handlin isn’t surprising. I was ok with ‘the name’ but quit radio soon after cause life’s too short.
I was so excited for the gig and remember walking away thinking that if that was the top of the ladder, I didn’t want to climb the ladder anymore.
Buying a property soon? I’m hearing some crazy stats about meth and what it means for your personal health if you live in a house where meth has been used. The trainer is recommending people sign contracts under condition of not only building and pest, but now, also meth.
Over the last 18 months of the spicy cough tearing apart the wedding and events industry, confidence has never been lower.
So I’m in a classroom today studying for a Cert IV in Real Estate.

I think about this daily: Your Professional Peak Is Earlier Than You Think - The Atlantic
For the first time in history, Robert Palmer’s Simply Irresistible has been followed in a playlist by Feel Good Inc from the Gorillaz. Attending this real estate course this week has been a wild ride of experiencing the trainer’s playlist tastes.
My greatest fear, as recognised in 1947 by ad-man, Bill Bernbach:
“I’m worried that we’re going to worship techniques instead of substance.”
If there was a vaccine for “sameness, a mental weariness, a mediocrity of ideas” I’d be first in line.

Remember that time Sesame Street’s Bert marched with Bin Laden?

“No major Hollywood release has portrayed China’s government in a negative light since 1997’s Seven Years in Tibet, as analyst Matt Schrader has shown.”

Dear, tonight’s hotel, two things.
Firstly, thank you for taking some of the covidsafe precautions.
Secondly, 75 emails?!
Can you recommend a relationship manager/app that’s very iOS/iPadOS/Mac/internet native.
In particular, it’d be super cool if a contact was in the CRM and when they called, Phone.app would display the name because it integrated with the CallKit Call Directory app extension.
I’m still really proud of this photo. It was my first photo that “went somewhere” … it was printed on the side of a Queensland Rail Citytrain. Taken from what is now @hotagc.

Three years ago I pontificated that the future of the iPhone was the Apple Watch, @markgurman lent that way today in his Power On email … should’ve put some cash down on it

I’m in training all week this week and it’s fascinating to be reminded that not everyone is all in on the Apple ecosystem. 20+ people, me and 2 others on Apple.
You are not an aspirant. You are as complete as you can be today. None of us are finished. All of us are aspiring, so none of us are.
