📸 🌊 It took a while after last nights weather

But the clouds seemed to have moved on pretty quickly. This was just 20 minutes before.

And this just THIRTEEN minutes before that!

Ha .. kudos to Mr. @danielpunkass .. if it all goes wrong with MarsEdit, he clearly has a future with roles like ‘futurist’ ‘Oracle’ ‘pundit’ .. AI indeed.

Enjoy.

📺 Turn Up Charlie

Just like 🖇️ Loot .. not one to dislike … and likely more a passion project for the only reason I watched it ( a while back now) .. Idris.

But I do like to occasionally log some older stuff .. cos we don’t all watch everything at the time do we … so you still need to know.. right? Wrong... john.philpin.com https://john.philpin.com/2024/06/08/turn-up-charlie.html

📺 Loot

There should be a rating between Like and Dislike. In the end I went for like .. because in all honesty I couldn’t really ‘dislike’ … but no .. NOT a recommendation. I wonder if they were trying to go for that Ted Lasso feel good thing? No idea .. but whatever that Ted Lasso feel good thing is … it... john.philpin.com https://john.philpin.com/2024/06/08/loot-there-should.html

Found on a 1Password thread …

"Left unchecked you may stop worrying about building the best product, and you instead focus on building the best business. It is a subtle subconscious switch, but it’ll have massive impact on the product your customers use."

I like that distinction.

📸🌊 An unusually ordnary morning.

📸🌊 Busy day to day … took this early this morning. 14 hours later … oh yeah … should post that picture.

These days, reading about Musk and all follow up commentary is akin to where I have been with The Orange Clown for a while …

".. yes .. I know .. seen / read it before .. insert ‘expletive descriptor’ .. what a ‘expletive’, but what are you going to do about it, and if the answer is nothing / I can’t then stop wasting my time and petition the people that can .. because if we don’t it will get worse."

All those years ago the 🍎 Long and Hodgman ads were really very good and clever, definitely creative, truly fun. Interesting how the subsequent careers of the two actors developed to be nearly the exact opposite of the companies they represented.

Interesting Twist .. from today’s HCR

"Then, on Saturday, there was what Danny Westneat of the Seattle Times called a plot twist. It turns out the state of Washington has a law on the books that prevents felons from running for office. But because a candidate has to be certified to be on a ballot before they can be challenged, the issue can’t be resolved until Trump officially becomes the Republican Party’s presidential nominee at the July convention. Westneat asked, “Republicans: You sure you want to go down this road?”"

Not entirely sure why this is differentt to Colorado off top of my headers.

🍿 The Conway family is its own self contained circus. No extras needed.

Interesting that Gig Young won 3 Oscar nominations (including 1 win). All three roles saw him playing some kind of drunk/ alcoholic. Life imitating art?
