“because we found it randomly” reveals the importance of mindset. So much of the travel experience (hell, life itself!) is influenced by a positive attitude and openness to really see what is around us.
Fascinating idea! So wish I had parents and grands around so I could record all the old family stories that were told over the years. If you readers take no other action after reading this post, start recording your own oral history/stories; yours, parents, kids, friends, etc.
The new Tech Corps invites engineers, data scientists, and technically minded builders to serve alongside partner countries working to responsibly adopt and deploy AI tools. Think less “teach Scratch in a classroom,” more “help ministries, universities, and startups translate AI potential into practical systems.” If you’ve ever wanted to ship something that matters outside the App Store, this is a chance to put your stack to work in the real world.
Interesting analysis. If you’re into efficient operations, consider making coffee at home/office and either make your own banana bread (easy and far tastier!) or skip it!
In 1999, Jobs received an award from the Silicon Valley Alum of Harvard Business School for his Pixar work. In his thank you remarks, he said he had no illusions about there being many people who’d be booting up their Power Mac G4 in 50 years but he was dead certain that millions would still be watching Toy Story. Twenty five years in, his prediction holds.
I was a Lotus Agenda heavy user and remember when app this came out. It is very similar to the beta of what was internally called “Hobbs” (yes that Hobbs) that I test-drove at their Boston HQ. I stuck with Agenda.
Much of this article describes the behavior of relatively new travelers. As they mature, they’ll dig deeper, stay off the beaten tracks and, with luck, open up their cultural lens.
There are some good rent vs own calculators out there. One thing that each person has to weigh is how much they value their time. Owning a home requires a certain amount of time that renters don’t commit. Not counting the considerable time in seeking out and buying a home or the preparation and process of selling a home, there’s an enormous amount time spent on maintenance, repair, renovation, etc. I’ve owned and rented and, for me, renting is a far superior lifestyle.
I have both owned and rented. Having done this buy vs rent calculation many times and renting generally wins. Three factors not usually considered in the buy equation:
1) the house you’re willing to rent is less expensive than the one your willing to buy.
2) the value of the time you spend maintaining a home should be included in your return calculation
3) putting a lot of $ in any one investment asset (i.e. a single family residence) is riskier than a diversified portfolio of assets.
Anim8's business model lets you buy credits that you can then use over whatever time works for you. Essentially a use fee rather than a pay regardless of use.
Impressive and very cool! You might consider making this into a globe route generator that folks will pay for. See https://anim8map.com/
As an active airline passenger for the past 50 years, I wish I’d kept a log my many hundreds of flights. Some day I’ll sit down and attempt an educated guess.
