Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

Defying fracticality Ok, so I'm playing fast and loose; 'fracticality' isn't a word. Yet, the world is fractal, in the sense that everything unpacks. We also have to make decisions about what to do, without having time, nor inclination, to go to depths that aren't relevant. How do we strike that balance? How do we go about defying fracticality? Some reflections...

My technology for performance I've talked in the past about my tools for learning, as Jane Hart's survey prompts. Yet, Christy Tucker asks about software stacks (for consulting), and I realize there's a different answer when I'm talking about doing versus learning. Yes, as Harold Jarche says, "work is learning and learning is the work", but there are times I'm using tools to keep myself on track rather than to render my ongoing thinking.

It’s no longer AI! There's been a persistent belief in artificial intelligence (AI) practitioners that kind of explains the ongoing development. The mantra is "if we can understand it, it's no longer AI". This is relevant to what we're seeing today, in important ways. So let's unpack that. The point of AI is that we're trying to model intelligent behavior, usually human intelligence. It doesn't have to be human, of course, we can be trying to model intelligent behavior that's…

Timing matters There are many phenomena associated with time. I know it was such a topic of my late friend Jay Cross that he named his vehicle for agency Internet Time. A few phenomena have arisen in my thinking, and it's time to just review some of the reasons why timing matters. So, for one, things seem to come in waves. It'll be too quiet, and then too busy; too frenetic a rhythm.

Standing up… ...and I won't back down. Ok, so this is a little off my usual thread, but it does have some learning in it. What I'm talking about is using your attention and your money as a way to express your values. It's what I'm increasingly doing, and there're lessons in it. So let's talk about standing up for what you believe in.

Ideas we could do without Saw a post on LinkedIn from a colleague, ranting about how we are regularly putting old wine in new bottles. I do believe we're getting deeper into design and strategy, but I also agree. Similarly, I've seen a regular feature on a newsletter talking about terms we can do without. So, I'm combining the two here. Not surprisingly, I'm channeling previous complaints (as a commenter made mention of), but this is the first time combining them into ideas we could do without.

I will not vote to give ICE a single penny under its corrupt leadership. ICE is making our communities less safe and when the Homeland Security appropriations bill, which contains ICE funding, comes to the Floor in the coming days, I will be a strong NO vote.

A celebration of the tablet OK, so I've been around for a few turns around the sun. And, I've seen a fair bit of change, in technology in particular. My first job out of college was programming these new-fangled 'personal computers'. This came after holding down jobs programming mainframes (Algol/Burroughs 7600) and mini-computers (Pascal/PDP-11s). As such, I've watched as the computers have shrunk to pocket and wrist-size (and more, but that's not in common use), while increasing in capability.

If it’s Thursday… ...it must be Belgium. Ok, so there're two things here. First, on Thursday, Feb 26, in Brussels specifically, I'll be there. Why? I'll be spending a full day workshopping practical learning science. In conjunction, I should note with my LDA Co-Director, Matthew Richter. And, hopefully, you! So, what, and why, and...? For the other, yes, I know the original movie said Tuesday.
