Don’t tell anyone but the opening of track six on the new Foo Fighters album had me thinking that there was a Taylor Swift collab inside. It’s ok, it was Nothing At All.
I made a Steve Jobs chatbot based on the book Make Something Wonderful and asked him how he would bring AR glasses to market.
“… and we’re calling it iVision!”
Luna’s following in my footsteps!
By being a radio broadcaster to an unprofitably small audience.
Remember that classic scene from Notting Hill where Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts’ characters meet at a travel bookstore and then get a doughnut from that Brisbane doughnut chain?
Overcast and 14 degrees Celsius and the Britts are so sure it’s good weather that there’s a kid at the park in their swimmers.

WordPress just turned 20 years old, which means I’ve been using it for different projects for a smidge under 20 years.
My memory is that I was about to use b2/cafelog for a project and someone told me to try this new fork, WordPress.
Cheers for making the web better, WordPress!

Bought Luna her first camera, the Hyundai Excel of first cameras: a Nikon point and shoot.
I believe that my kids should save for their first Canon but I’m happy to pay for their potato camera.
She called us to the church house, gin house, school house, and outhouse. She called us to the Nutbush City limits from the wedding dance floors of Australia to a little old town in Tennessee.
She was, simply the best dance floor filler.
She is the Queen of Rock, the Empress of Soul.
Here’s to the diva, Tina Turner.
AI is genuinely exciting and terrifying but most of us nerds have been thinking about it and talking about it for 30 years.
This is Steve Jobs in 1983:
…when the next Aristotle comes around, maybe if he carries around one of these machines with him his whole life—his or her whole life—and types in all this stuff, then maybe someday, after this person’s dead and gone, we can ask this machine, “Hey, what would Aristotle have said? What about this?” And maybe we won’t get the right answer, but maybe we will. And that’s really exciting to me. And that’s one of the reasons I’m doing what I’m doing.
