The way Twitter is laying people off feels a bit black mirror.

• No direct message
• access cut
• who knows the decision process or reason why

I can easily imagine some automatic firing system in the future. If your performance drops below certain metrics, you get warning messages then a severance email. No uncomfortable humans to get in the way or delay a layoff.

What a horrible idea.

Apparently, Revue is going to be shut down as part of Musk’s shake up.

That a shame, I really liked using it for my sketchy ideas newsletter. I guess it’s time to reopen my Obsidian note on email newsletter services and find a suitable option.

If you enjoyed the micro camp talk that @chadgmoore and I did on sketchnoting, you might enjoy this upcoming workshop I running.

It’s on using visuals to aid your thinking (and will look at using PKM tools too).

I just released my latest sketchy idea (newsletter) and I think I’m most proud of the pun at the beginning.

We’re about to go on a four hour drive across Poland (with a four hour return trip): what audiobook would you listen to?

I’m trying to get ideas but really diverse ones not ones “for me”.

🎶 Blue In Green (Take 3) by Bill Evans Trio

Just discovered this version thanks to the YouTube music algorithm.

Can’t have a problem with trolls when you’re run by a troll and encourage trolling… sorry, “free speech maximumism.”

Urgh! What a day.

Chris, it’s 10am.

… the Google play store has fewer ads than the apple App Store…Google!

I resisted the iPadOS 16 betas because I wouldn’t get stage manager and I wanted to keep my iPad reliable…but now freefrom is out in beta and I’ve got to try it! Time to beta!

Just curious, if you could get the SAME content but in.

• a PDF
• daily emails
• An obsidian vault that you download
• An online course platform like teachable
• (another method?)

Which would you want most and why…also would it affect what you’d pay?

I’m planning to do a massive update of my site LearnCreateShare next week I’d love your feedback and thoughts. Some things I’m considering

1. The name /domain
2. The navigation and experience
3. Updating/correcting info (like the about page)

Probably won’t change the theme though.

Speaking with Paul Mignard on Twitter and he mentioned dropping the USB-C port, going wireless and making a thinner iPad. That could be an amazing iPad Air (that would hook up to a smart speaker for a home device?). A great sketchnoting device.

Turned off continuity webcam for my iPhone. I was getting multiple pings a day saying it was connected when I wasn’t even using a camera app. I’ll manually switch it on if I need it.
