Comment la gauche doit repenser son utilisation des réseaux sociaux.

I've always been an enthusiastic person. I like to jump from one project to the next (literally running, when possible) with my knobs turned to 11. I tend to do well on relatively short action cycles; getting started on (and being ready to move on from)

Brand names can help narrow a search, but they do not tell you whether a particular device matches your hearing needs. Compare the specific model, available styles, controls, phone features, charging or battery routine, and the service offered by the...

You found a 3 BHK you like. The price looks right. The brochure looks impressive. The amenities sound great. So, should you book it? Not yet. Before buying a home, there are a few questions that matter far more than the swimming pool, the lobby or ev...

Was the perfect time for my ProtonMail subscription to revert to FREE.

Joe fell off a roof, and everybody laughed, because he laughed. With Joe it was always laughter until somebody laughed at the wrong time. Then he would turn sullen or angry, or quietly disappear. His friends all knew he was that way. That's how they knew it was

Reddit is moving to “a logged-in-only experience,” CEO says

Moving to primarily logged-in will ensure our users have the best Reddit experience possible, and can find the content and communities most relevant to them. It is better for our business because we will have more signals for ads targeting, and being logged-in leads to higher engagement generally.

We didn’t have … Continue reading "A Perfect Day"

While visiting New Smyrna Beach this past weekend for our 17th wedding anniversary, we spent a morning at Smyrna Dunes Park. It’s 184 acres of dunes and beach, filled with native plants and wildlife (look for the gopher tortoises that are everywhere!). There is a 2 mile (handicapped accessible) boardwalk that circles the park, observation … Continue reading "Smyrna Dunes Park"

The Gig Economy Is Task Driven.

The Future Of Work Is Not.

Continuing To Iterate My Thoughts On Human Value for Inktober.

Remember the gig economy kids?

The Gig Economy Is Task Driven - The Future Of Work Is Not.

AI is taking over the gig economy. Humans who aren’t ‘task driven’ have to work out how we fit it in.

Should be the other way round. The AI should be trying to work out how it fits in.

Instead at every turn I feel I’m being ‘mansplained’ to by the tech bros and their machines.

Revealed: GOP Group Behind Mysterious Trans Student Messages

Following an order from a Travis County judge, the Republican Women’s Caucus (RWC) Fund and a man named John Braun have been identified as the names behind controversial text messages sent to Texans earlier this month purporting to offer resources to transgender students, confirming widespread speculation that the effort was a Republican political ploy.

Needs more than a rethink, but part of my ‘drum band’

‘The Age of Reason’ is over - let’s move on to ‘The Age of Engagement’.

Had to particularly share this one - because … me just yesterday

The folks at Readwise have just released their book reader, store and app. Nice job.
