Leaving NOLA, highlight was the drunken tourist who was stumbling towards me and shouting “Touchdown Jesus!!” I looked at him, confused, then turned around to see this. That’s him posing in the photo.

oh ok, i guess i misinterpreted the president’s memes and newfound enthusiasm for helicopter emojis.

"Epistemological Fractures" a new term learned yesterday from @ruperts.world at #ProtocolsForPublishers

There is something deliciously dystopian about the fact that tech workers are sending robots into cage match fights and betting on the result. sfstandard.com/2025/08/10/r...

“Nuclear deterrence is nothing more than the power to intimidate.”

My dear fellow, the scofflaw police are out about to cuff any ruffians sulking about in Gotham.

Some thoughts on how publishers and their CDNs can work together to drive up value and redirect LLM searches to licensed & monetized distribution routes.

Freedom Plaza Updates At 1pm today, there is a kick-off meeting (page has a YouTube link to view remotely) to discuss the mandated public information sessions and other aspects of the Community Advisory Committee (CAC). The six member of the CAC will ultimately recommend the project to the New…

Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide’s to the Galaxy imaged the Babel fish, an actual fish that you would slip into your ear and it would translate for you. We now have that device www.timekettle.co/products/may...

Thoroughly enjoyed the second episode of Apple TV’s The Studio about a single cut scene, shot in a single cut. m.imdb.com/title/tt3490...

What if we rebuilt the internet into one that rewarded Knowledge and not Attention. The "attention economy" brought us clickbait and distraction. What if we rebuilt the internet into one that rewarded publishers that gave more than they took away?

Perplexity’s YouTube Moment Perplexity acquisition rumors echo when Google was about to acquire YouTube. Risky at the time but a game-changer in hindsight.

Maybe the RIAA will have more spine than the Supreme Court.

A casino next to Tudor City? What do the candidates say? The largest open lot in Manhattan is in my neighborhood and developers want to build a casino there. I ask candidates for city council what they think.

What I Learned at #nytechweek Last week NYC erupted with over 1,000 small pop-up events across the city, loosely curated by the NY Tech Week team on this calendar. I would describe this as a decentralized SXSW where the events are hosted without much central control which results in an explosion…

The Real Debate in NYC My favorite part of the NYC Democratic Mayoral Debate. Where to get the best slice. Traditionally, whomever wins the democratic primary wins the Mayor's race in NYC so it's a crowded field with nine candidates qualifying to take the stage Wednesday night (the second debate…

The $20B Edit MediaPost delves into the specifics of what caused the Trump administration to accuse 60 Minutes of manipulating a quote and commit election fraud. Face the Nation used the first half of Kamala Harris' response to a question while 60 Minutes used the second half. Was this really…

I lived in Tokyo for 10 years and have been going back regularly. When asked where to stay and what to eat, this is what I shared with a friend.

It's been awhile but I felt it time to update my AI-Caramba list with a new entry everwas.com/ai-caramba/

It’d be fun to overlay the audio on this with terms like API, LLM, Tokens, and Context Window.

Taking an Uber Shuttle to LGA and realizing I’m just on a premium version of a bus. I also thought I was smart cutting the cord and signing for YouTube TV at $30/month but now pay $83/month for what is basically a cable bundle delivered over my internet line. #SameAsItEverWas 😆

Such an amazing space. Quite pleased how this photo turned out.

I’m such a dork. I used AI to build a “name-that-tune” game for Deadheads. Naming the song is not too hard but it’s really tough to get the right year. Share a screenshot if you win! gd.everwas.com #gratefuldead

Amazing turnout today. Well done citizens!

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

More evidence of taxpayers funds wasted on personal expenses. Why doesn’t the DOGE team look here for clawbacks.

I would love to know how much the Vance’s boondoggle to Greenland cost us?

“It is clear that the United States is no longer a reliable partner,” he said on Thursday. “There will be no turning back.”

Someone spliced together all the times the Grateful Dead tuned their instruments on stage in 1977. 90 minutes of “tuning” 🤣

Day Hikes Near Tokyo: Kamakura Part Two of a series from a session with Perplexity AI where I asked for recommendations for on day hikes near Tokyo. Yesterday was Mt. Takao in Western Tokyo. Today's post is a "vibe blog" (lightly edited) response to the prompt, "Can you show me some nice hikes in…
