Reading the sky in the morning

Enjoying the look of a warm day ahead.

Shared Experiences FTW

A metaverse involves some kind of shared space and shared experience across a networked medium. Not only is it more than just doing things in VR, a metaverse doesn’t even require VR. -- kibwen on Hacker News

One of the most interesting features of Buiding a Second Brain is discovering many of my existing PKM highlights reappear on the printed pages. That’s because I have read or listened to so many of Tiago Fkrte’s ideas and now they jump out in my Readwise, Roam, or Notion accounts.

Our brains were never meant to be overflowing storage depots. A Second Brai is a trusted and organised digital repository where you can store your thoughts, ideas, and notes so that they can be developed beyond a momentary spark and accessed when you most need them. It removes the mental strain …

Will AIs treat humans as pets?

I started making quick words to self by using Otter.ai to record my ramblings and then Samsung Smart Select to grab the text. Yesterday, I wondered what happens with AI when singularity occurs. How will AI treat humans? Will the AI know that humans will resist being oppressed? Knowing that, will the …

I learn technical ideas and content ideas from Evo Terra. His thoughts on what to share resonate with me.

I’m a big fan of continuous sidewalks, especially the ones in Amsterdam. For the pedestrian, the sidewalk continues through the junction and doesn’t drop down.

Zuckerberg said that the percentage of content people see in Facebook and Instagram that comes from accounts they don’t follow will more than double next year. -- Alex Heath, [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/2022/7/27/23281294/facebook-meta-revenue-declines-for-first-time)

Listening to people talk about ways to make a just transition related to climate change.

We live in at the end of a small cul de sac where our telephone cable is compromised so 50 Mbps is all we get. If we lived in the country four miles west, we would have fibre gigabit service directly off the telephone pole in front of the house.

The Value of Breaks

There is something fractal about rest. Looking back on my own experiences, I think having several short breaks beat having elongated holidays.

Listening to the voice of reason

I never thought I would see the rise of populism and the demise of expertise enshrined by the White House.

From the inside out id2015

I picked this image because, I for one might not have the story behind this image correct, but I think it represents that it’s what’s on the inside of a person that counts.

My screen view #28daysofwriting

YOU CAN TELL productivity is in flow when you look over the shoulders of creative people. Sometimes their secret sauce spills over their personal in-hand screens. Sometimes you see creativity on the office whiteboards.

Condolences to @evelynoconnor

Saddened to hear of the death of Evelyn O’Connor’s dad.

20 Minute Interval Training

Inspired to start 20 minute intereval training.

Cutting through silos

I WISH THERE was a way to identify silo mentalities festering below the surface before I discover I’m surrounded by them. But crafting personal silo mentalities appears to be a human condition. A silo mentality is an attitude I first encountered in the 70s while working in compartmentalised …

Remembering Evelyn Goldbach

WE BURIED MY mother, Evelyn Frances Goldbach, in the family plot today.

Collaborative Pinpoints

by Bernie Goldbach in Cashel WE ARE EXTENDING communal expertise in the realm of pinpoints on a shared map. It means taking a measured step on a path that started with Cauwell pinpoint technology, meandered through both Nokia and Google Maps with social hiking and now involves the iCollab Community …

Map Cases, Side Doors, and Stories

I have a catalogue case filled with memories.

Dangling Dongles

WHILE PACKING FOR an overseas trip, I’m ticking off a few pieces of technology that will ensure I can dangle my dongle to best effect. I’m starting with my O2 dongle.

Learned from USB

, I’ve learned several things about living with USB powered devices. I’m careful of USB hubs because I’ve been in several situations where my scanner misbehaved because it was connected to an unpowered hub or the hubs power adapter was disconnected.

Snapped at OEB08

My first visit to Online Educa Berlin was in December 2008 where I joined a meet-up of microbloggers in the Marlene Lounge of the Intercontinental Hotel. When I posted this image, I used Photosynth to produce the group from a set of overlapping pans with my Nokia E90. Things have changed a lot as …
