I have the iPhone 12 Pro and it's basically already the perfect phone, I don't feel like any of this stuff is worth upgrading for #AppleEvent

Typically the camera improvements are the most exciting part for me, but I think I already scratched my itch by getting into analog photography, so this far I'm not seeing anything worth upgrading for #AppleEvent

Steatoda borealis egg sacs are nifty. They just thin away until they are all gone, and then the cute pink spiderlings pop out.

In the beginning there was data. The data was without form and
null, and darkness was upon the face of the console; and the Spirit of
IBM was moving over the face of the market. And DEC said, "Let there
be registers"; and there were registers. And DEC saw that they
carried; and DEC separated the data from the instructions. DEC called
the data Stack, and the instructions they called Code. And there was
evening and there was morning, one interrupt.

I do try to pick a word with no repeat letters, but other than that it's more fun to use the first word that comes to mind and see where it takes you

A couple of notes re: that poll ^.

1. After first such poll I remember feeling really good to not be in a minority for once! I hoped to share the feeling with more people, and it worked!

2. Do not despair about Chrome majority. As long as there's active core of people fighting the rules of easy consumption, we can still win the Internet back. It already happened with MS IE, it can happen to Google Chrome.

3. The poll collected ~10000 votes. Keep it in mind as a reference number for reach.

It's hard to describe how fundamental the shift in the national attitude towards The Future was after 9/11.

I won't say that it was an *optimistic* time, but as an early 20-something the national conversation was focused on how to best use our surplus, internationally from the end of the cold war and financially from the tech boom and growing economy.

Obviously there were deep, unaddressed problems on both fronts — but the decisions of 2001 just pissed everything away, to a shocking degree.

The old saw that "culture eats strategy for breakfast" is, in many ways, a reflection on adaptation to different time scales.

Incentives & measurements march to a cadence, and the speed of the march creates opportunity *within* the drumbeat and destroys opportunities that only materialise on a longer time scale.
