Weeknote, Sunday 11th May

  • Shorter work week thanks to May bank holiday but the tasks are never ending at the moment. A real positive was a visit from colleagues to understand more of our business and what we do.
  • Apple Turnover – one of my favourite pastries but this is about one of my favourite tech companies. Many have called for Apple to change direction, this one from John Siracusa nails some of my feelings about the Apple of today. I’m not sure though a change at the top would be enough – feels a number of the exec team need replaced.
  • A brief history of the all-in-one Mac – post looking back at happier times. I first used a Mac at Glasgow Uni in the early 90’s and it was glorious. Something so elegant compared to Windows 3.1 and the standard beige PC’s that were the norm at the time.
  • 21 Observations from People Watching – some sharp writing from a wedding painter.
  • What we talk about when we talk about AI – thoughtful piece on what we mean by AI. Need to seed this around some of my colleagues.
  • This CIty Is Ours – enjoyable but drawn out and could have been a much better 6 part series.
  • Andor is so so good. Best Star Wars TV series by a distance. Last of Us has kept pace after episode 2.
