You might not be into swimming. But if you want to simply watch an amazing athelete then watch Léon Marchand's 200 IM where he smashed 10y+ old world record.

Hey friends! I did a TEDx talk and it's now up on the TED Conferences YouTube. It's possibly the best and most important talk I've ever done.

I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED

"Hard times create strong people, strong people create good times, good times create weak people, and weak people create hard times".

I'm seeing more and more examples of this rule, which resonates with me, in practice. Most of them at my kids schools :(.

My small car we use to drive around the city needs to be replaced.

A battery on wheels would be perfect, it’s just Australian government and energy suppliers are dragging their heels and V2H or V2G standard ante not yet available.

This ad from Translink sums it perfectly.

A few observations from the first ride on Brisbane Metro.
* As bumpy, if not bumpier, ride as on a regular bus so it is still hard to type on a laptop
* The old ticketing system so I could not use my phone to pay
* Quieter than a regular bus.

1-2 billion AUD for a bus that pretends to be a tram.

Had a bit of drama with my iPhone on the weekend. The restet to factory settings was failing with randome errors. The new MS store based iTunes & the new Apple Devices app didn't like each other. Solution: uninstall both and instal the old version of iTunes from Apple www.apple.com/itunes/downl...
