It’s time for the Kubernetes value line - “There’s a reason the saying ‘culture eats tech for breakfast’ has become a favorite in today’s IT lexicon. What this pithy saying doesn’t get into is that technology can change behavior over time."

I’m at Cloud Foundry Day today - travel, conference, etc. I realized I’m giving the last talk, which is kind of a good slot to have. I’ll have to do some kind of “end of the conference” commentary on life. It’s Germany, and it’s hot. People leave the doors open for a breeze, so there’s the light smell of cigarettes here and there. (The Texan in me is a bit mystified, even stressed out at seeing open doors when there’s air conditioning.
Why did the #TwitterMigration fail? – Café Lob-On - Difficulty crossing the chasm. But, come on: it’s been less than a year.
All those naked Greeks… - I think the conclusion is status, power, beauty, and sex.
Bluesky Has Problems - Me: there aren’t enough people and, thus, communities yet. Also: federation isn’t really anything people care about, and, thus, not a feature worth spending time on.
2023-06-18 yesterday note
Mid-day.
For Father’s Day, Kim set me up with a nice hotel room that has a sauna in it. I think we’re developing a tradition of these parents days where the parent gets the day off. Sort of ironic, but fitting for the contemporary pro mental health vibe we all stew in. I was told to do no work, even my own projects. So I’ve been watching Batman: The Long Halloween.
Rest for the restless - “Maybe it’s my low tolerance for boredom. I can’t help but do something, anything. If only I could embrace boredom, and just let myself be. I can do a seated meditation for 10 minutes with no big issue of fidgeting, just focusing on my breath. But that’s still doing something? Reigning in the monkey mind, trying to keep a straight spine. Not quite what I imagine a relaxed state to be."

I don't need to "do less to do more." I just need to do less.
The past is not what’s normal, the present is.
