And I got mine from @bmann.ca

I just discovered Listen Notes, which is a search engine for podcasts. I feel like I'm going to use this a lot. https://www.listennotes.com/
The skyline of Boston at sunset. There are tall buildings next to a bay of water.
Flying out of Boston this evening to go back to Tanzania!
It's quite a convoluted itinerary. I'll fly to Dubai, then after a 12 hour layover, fly to Kenya, to Dr es Salaam in Tanzania, then finally to Moshi
ad or article from the 90s with guy at desk having a real one with electronic mail trying to kill him in white letters it says "what the heck is Electronic Mail?"
One thing the 90s got right was how horrific it is to answer email
A black and white cat looking over the top of a laptop screen with a code editor opened. The cat has a very intense stare.
Someone thinks I need to do less coding and more petting…

I got a lobster BLT at the Portland Lobstet Company this evening.
It seems like that goes against the rules of the mystery genre. We are supposed to only have the facts that the detectives have.
I like the Father Dowling books, but several times the villain is revealed early in the story in a cut scene. This seems to spoil the rest of the book.
I think it's because the flashbacks are short—usually less than 30 seconds. But they do fill in holes in the plot, so as a viewer, you start to solve the mystery before the characters do.
I usually hate flashbacks in TV shows. They feel like they interrupt the flow of the story and place too much emphasis one or two past events that shaped the characters.
But I'm watching Broadchurch series two and am liking how they use flashbacks.
@bmann.ca I doubt you knew it, but Josh is my brother. We are a family of computer nerds :)
I made strawberry scones today!
…That's why git is simultaneously an extremely successful self-certifying system and a failed attempt at decentralisation."
"A self-certifying protocol without a cooperation layer is (exactly) like git without GitHub. This offers a lesson: failing to build the cooperation layer leads right back to capture no matter how good the tool.…
Thanks!

Can you give an example?
This will be so cool to have!
Shopping on Amazon for a phone case. You can filter for anything but phone model—which is the most important detail! Searching for Samsung case and getting results for iPhone!
We are nowhere near the computers taking over the world. Or if they do, we are all in trouble.
P.S. having a glass whiteboard is fun until you have to take a picture of it. Had to clumsily hold a sheet of paper behind to make it somewhat visible.
Whiteboard showing application logic for saving annotations.
Revisions.
My app uses XState for the logic, so all of this is handled by state machines.
First things to do after you win the lottery:
1.) Keep using Linux so nobody will suspect you
A white board showing a flow chart for saving annotations.
Working on logic for saving annotations. Already see flaws with how I'm thinking it through.
BIG NEWS! We're launching a podcast!
The Causal Islands 🏝️ Podcast will feature thought-provoking interviews with leading experts in distributed systems, AI, computing, and more, exploring the intricate connections between tech + society and how they will shape our future.
Very interesting conversation. I love hearing how different people organize their notes.
