2 Hargreaves Street, Auckland, New Zealand
We had a big pitch presentation yesterday. 18 people in the room, us in shirts with collars and good trousers. Everyone was wearing trousers, in fact.
I think it went well. But on the drive back home of course I was analysing every word said or not said. and with all the "Jeez I wish I'd said this or that" after the fact that I'd had a bit more time to think about things.
It's just occured to me it was the same feeling I had almost 40 years ago after a first date. I guess that's how you "get good". Do tha analysis, be better next time.
Not that I'll need first date skills ever again.

I'm saddened to read Om Malik has died. For such a long time I've always looked out for his comments on Tech Meme as a source of authority and reason on whatever thing was going on at any time.

It's another Friday, and for various work related reasons, it's been so long since I've enjoyed a #jukeboxFridayNight boogie
I thought I'd read somewhere that the album that this song was on was widely panned, but I have to tell you, this is so my jam, I love it so much I'd pash it on the lips if I could and it gave consent.
Sing it so loud and have a small chair dance.
I present to you Duran Duran's cover of Lay Lady Lay which is a siesmic magnitude better than the original, whom ever sang that.

We all love the open web. And we love how in AO NZ we are not very far apart.
But some dude from the other end of the observable universe posts into my RSS Reader about an uncommon grape variety only to find that 35 years later we may have crossed paths, or, or not depending on how long Rumbles on Waring-Taylor St was actually in business.
I bloody love the internet and the BIG TECH trying to silo it can suck a fat one.

Picture me right now, in my man cave, Grace Jones Walkiing in the rain on the stereo, all 4 speakers at level 11 and me dancing exactly like that fat corrupt bag of bloviate Donald J Trump would dance. I mock him and his tupuna and off spring for the next 1000 years
