“Never put yourself in a position in which you regret what you didn’t do. - Futurist Jim Carroll
--
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--Forty-one years ago today, I stepped onto a plane in Halifax, Nova Scotia, heading toward a national office in Toronto, Ontario, and a future that didn't yet have a name.
I was a Chartered Accountant by trade, but my heart was already in the "pipes"—the emerging, messy world of computer connectivity. For three years, I had already immersed myself deep into the opportunities that came from the online world, understanding the power of global collaboration, online research, knowledge acceleration, and disruptive ideas. In my heart and in my mind, I just knew that something big was on the way, and I wanted to be a part of it.
41 years on, I know I did the right thing.
Many times in your life, you will need to confront similar big decisions. Should you make the big, bold leap? Should you take the daring jump into the unknown? Can you really hold your breath, close your eyes, take the plunge into tomorrow, and hope for the best?
If you don't, you might end up regretting not doing the most important thing you should have done.
Never put yourself in that situation.
The greatest risk you will ever take is the risk of staying where you are when you know you were meant for what’s next.
Don't ask what happens if you fail.
Ask what happens if you never try at all.

Kerr Dam and Reservoir is largely on the Virginia side of the state line, Lake Gaston to the east is actually on the North Carolina side, with the Roanoke River trending east-southeast toward Roanoke Rapids and, eventually, the Albemarle Sound.

In my heart and in my mind, I just knew that something big was on the way, and I wanted to be a part of it.
The move came about because I had been identified by the national office as someone who could implement the opportunities of that 'something big on a nationwide basis. They offered me a position to chase my ideas, albeit in a bigger, well-funded way - and I accepted.
That moment in time was the final, terrifying step in my ultimate pivot. I wasn't just changing roles; I was abandoning "certainty" for a wild risk on what would eventually become the Internet. And yet, I've never looked back with regret at the decision I made to move forward. I often wonder what my world would be like today if I had let that regret define my future.

"#Sheitel: Beauty in the Hidden, an insightful #documentary, takes a deep dive into this complex topic. It explores the unexpectedly wide-ranging cultural, religious and deeply personal significance of hair covering among #Orthodox and #Hasidic #women — from #Miami to #Jerusalem; from #NewYork to #LosAngeles; from #Toronto and #Montreal to, of all places, #Halifax, #NovaScotia, #director #LyndaMedjuckSuissa’s home base. (Her first #film, Camp Kadimah—The Story of Our Lives, examined the history and ongoing impact of a well-known #Canadian #Jewish summer day camp.)
In Sheitel, her sophomore effort, she reveals how #wigs, #scarves and other #hair coverings serve not only as symbols of faith and tradition, but also political identity and female empowerment. The #movie confronts widespread misconceptions and stereotypes — including my own parochial thoughts on the subject — and also offers a rare look into the global #wig industry."

Lovely hike at the Dingle, the name of which absolutely does not make me chortle like an adolescent schoolboy. It was really a beautiful day, slightly overcast but sunny, with only a few patches of snow and Rebecca's dog entertaining us all.

Can’t wait for the report to be submitted. Then a committee formed to review the report. Then a proposal for changes. Then a committee to approve changes. Then a budget approval for the work. Then advertise a tender for the work. Maybe in about 50 years we’ll see the results. #HRM #Halifax #NSPoli

"A wave of #antisemitic incidents across #Canada is raising alarm within the country’s #Jewish community, as tensions linked to conflict in the #MiddleEast continue to drive a surge in #vandalism, #harassment, and #violence targeting #Jews and #Israelis.
In one of the latest antisemitic incidents, a #kosher restaurant and a neighboring business in #Montreal, the largest city in the province of #Quebec, were vandalized on Wednesday, with antisemitic #graffiti and #swastikas spray-painted across their walls.
The incidents followed separate attacks in #Toronto, a city in the province of #Ontario, where shots were fired at a Jewish-owned restaurant and at a local #synagogue.
In another troubling antisemitic incident, a 15-year-old Jewish #student in #Halifax, the capital of #NovaScotia, has been forced to continue his education online after his school failed to stop repeated antisemitic harassment and #bullying."

"It's always good to be way ahead of your time!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
(Such as talking about artificial intelligence on your own radio show in Halifax, Nova Scotia, 42 years ago!)
So everyone seems to be working with Claude Code and Claude Cowork, so I had to jump in. (If you don't know what they are, find out fast and jump right in.) (Everyone is also talking about Clawdbot et al, and I'm jumping into that soon, too!)
I needed a project to explore what it can do.
I found one. I'm having fun.
And I have two reactions to Claude Cowork.
HOLY WOW! If you aren't learning how to use it, do so. Fast!
And, I was really quite ahead of the time, a lot of the time.
One thing that has made its way into this project is my 1984 radio series, which ran on CHNS in Halifax, Nova Scotia, back when I was a young 25-year-old accountant busy exploring the edges of the forthcoming technological revolution.
It was called Micro Minute. And it was ahead of its time. And I have the audio! Give it a listen!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-E36Mpl5_g
Not only that, but I have the original memos that describe the series in depth, as we tried to get other offices in the firm in which I worked interested in it.
Check out show number 17! I'm talking about artificial intelligence - 42 years ago. And nailed it!
Read the rest of the post.

Not much in the way of surprises in the #ChallengeCup this weekend. The outstanding result I'd say is #Goole's win at #Halifax. Them and #Keighley the two remaining non-#SuperLeague teams in the next round.

Halifax Stanfield CYHZ → St. Stephen CCS3
Leaving Nova Scotia for the last stop on Canadian soil at the small St. Stephen Airport, directly at the border to the Unites States. The runway there is only about 200 metres longer than the TBM’s required landing distance, so there’s not much margin for error on approach.
