This one is after I have run it through some software that I am exploring that automatically generates a transcript and a set of tags to help better navigate the 90 minutes or so.
You will notice that there are a LOT of tags - partly because I am still getting my head around the software (which allows me to edit the tags - but that takes time, which I don’t want to invest unless there is interest), but partly because the software isn’t quite yet applying a right level of intelligence to the tagging. (Some fixes are in the works).
For the best experience, set your browser window as large as possible (see the bottom right control) - AND/OR notice that you can hide the tags and the transcript by toggling the controls at the top of the panel.
Meanwhile, I was thinking that it probably makes more sense to include them on this blog. Thus we have a new living post, starting with that list and expanding - as I find then - below.
Probably the most important blog that relates to this post is
This post, by Dave Rosenthal caught my eye this morning. It’s long, it’s deep and is written with authority and knowledge.
Who is David Rosenthal? In his words
I worked with James Gosling on CMU’s Andrew project in the early 80s. I was a DE with him at Sun later in the 80s working on window systems including X, and file systems. I quit to be employee #4 at Nvidia where Curtis Priem and I did the basic I/O architecture, then was an early employee at Vitria, the second company of founders of Tibco. Before I start talking about cryptocurrencies, I should stress that I hold no long or short positions in cryptocurrencies, their derivatives or related companies.

It obviously also caught Cory Doctorow’s eyes, because he went on to write a post as well. To many Cory’s will be more readable - I guess helped by him being a professional writer and Dave’s original post actually being a summary of notes and slides he presented at Stanford’s EE380 Whether you read Dave’s or Cory’s - if not both, the conclusion is the same …
By the way - if you want one, even they say it’s expensive and the buy button takes you to Open Sea (according to their web site / he first and largest NFT Market Place) … get your crypto ready!
It’s a new year, and a spectacular new one at that. More of that to come - but good reasons for my extended absence.
As we reopen the doors, I have decided to offer up some shorter thought posts and links beyond the longer articles that I have put here in the past. So along with a new workflow that utilizes Drafts I am hoping that you will find more to read, more regularly - but not necessarily taking more time.
Might also be a good time to remind you that there is a newsletter available, that can get delivered to your inbox. Just like this blog and the podcast, it too has been in hiatus. It’s coming back - but not yet reached it’s weekly cadence.
Onwards - and my thanks for your attention and support.
