Good Things Happen.
They Sometimes Take Time.
It’s always important to share good news and good stories - even more so in the times we find ourselves in. This is one of those stories.

“Adversity is a test of character and a source of empowerment. I use the sword as an example. They all start as metal ingots. Plunged into fire, they are hammered into shape and cooled in water. The swords hammered out quickly look deadly, but are stiff and brittle, subject to snapping in two when put to the test. But a sword hammered and folded, hammered and folded, changes its crystalline structure with each fold until it becomes a work of art; nearly indestructible and flexible enough to absorb and deflect nearly any shock imposed upon it. That is how adversity affects character.”
My friend Mark.

I asked a question about this image in this newsletter.
The Boulevard du Temple photograph of 1838 (or possibly 1839) is one of the earliest daguerreotype plates produced by Louis Daguerre. Although the image seems to be of a deserted street, it is widely considered to be the first photograph to include an image of people. (Wikipedia)
More to come, but to recognize here that it was a stretch … First Person … People First!

People First!
Why would it be any different?
Why People First? It’s a question that I am often asked.
Why not? If not people, then what should be first?

humanityMay we who are merely inconvenienced
May we who have no risk factors
May we who have the luxury of working from home
May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close
May we who have to cancel our trips
May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market
May we who settle in for a quarantine at home
As fear grips our country, Let us choose love.
During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other, let us find other ways to embrace.

We Live In A Viral World
There’s A Perfect Storm On The Horizon
Don’t we all want our YouTube video or Instagram post to go viral? You know, where 24 hours after the post, there are millions of likes and shares and people all over the world are suddenly aware of you and your message? I wonder how many people think about the etymology of ‘going viral’? They are probably more aware today.

I think that is the opportunity and in five years time we’ll know whether we got the mega-corporations holding my identity or whether we managed to take it back.
Ian Grigg - October 2015.
The five years are just about up and I think if the ‘megacorps’ have not won - they are about to. Is it too late?
Three years ago he wrote: Identity is an edge protocol, and not a nodal protocol. (pdf)

We need to stop it.

Good grief … I think Molly Young is channelling me.
… at the very bottom, customer service. Which, by the way, has been rechristened “customer support” or “customer experience” at most companies — as though the word service might remind the college graduates recruited for these roles that they will in fact spend their days pacifying irritable consumers over phone, chat, text, and email.
