    “'We need to build, and fast,' said Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democratic senator known for his passion about climate policy. Failing to do so, he said, 'will look grossly negligent'.”:

  9. Today was "Play With Your WIFI Day", inspired by some annoying network slowdowns (Spectrum/Comcast).

    One of the features of Linux that I cherish, are the many command line utilities you can use to see just what is going on with your machine and network.

  10. Biodiversity under the wheels

    Koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and other wildlife are forced to dwell in fragmented spaces having to cross many roads to go about their life. Mobility design is primarily for combustion machines to fly along their supply chains. The mobility needs of the un-motorised is not taken care of with the existing infrastructure.

    "Tens of thousands of collisions with animals are recorded each year across Australia and the number appears to be rising. According to NRMA Insurance claims data, there was a 21% rise in animal collision claims from 2024-2025."

    "Many large animals, including kangaroos, are most active at dusk and night, often moving to feed along roadside vegetation. Insurance data shows collisions are concentrated on regional and rural roads, where higher speeds, limited lighting and greater exposure to wildlife increase risk." >>

  11. “Remember that the future won’t wait for you to be ready.” - 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.

    Never wait.

    Don't hold back.

    Get going - right now.

    Because the world as you know it at this very moment won't exist beyond the next moment. And by the time you get going, the opportunity it might present will be long gone.

    And yet, you are probably like most people - you're going to wait. For the 'perfect moment' when 'the time is right.' And with that, you fall behind.
    Look, throughout my 36-year voyage, I’ve seen the same pattern repeat in every industry: leaders waiting for the "perfect moment," the "final report," or the "economic recovery" to begin their next move. They treat readiness as a destination they need to reach before they can start. People do the same thing - if we have a major career opportunity, a freelance idea to chase, or a new skill we need to adapt.

    We wait until we are ready.

    But here is the brutal reality of the Infinite Pivot: The future doesn't care about your hesitation.

    In my book, Dancing in the Rain, I explored why you have to build while it’s pouring rain. Why did I write it? Because I know most people view a period of volatility or a period of chaos as a reason to delay. They think they are being "prudent" by waiting. In reality, they are being overtaken.

    Here's what I know: you need to establish a dual mindset, in which you:

    Rebuild during the lows: The rainy periods, aka volatility, are the only time you have the quiet to master the next tool, learn new skills, or overhaul your infrastructure. If you are waiting for things to "get back to normal" to start your growth phase, you have already lost opportunities due to the speed of change

    Pivot during the highs: When things are going well, that is exactly when the next disruption is cutting to the front of the line. It won't wait for you. You need to jump.

    The Infinite Pivot is about realizing that the idea of being "ready" is a myth, a trap, a barrier. The future tends to arrive on its own schedule. If you spend your time waiting for clarity, you’ll find yourself standing in a world that has already moved on without you.

    You can't control the timing, but you can control your motion.

    Don't wait for the future to invite you.

    Jim Carroll's book of 2007, Ready, Set, Done: How to Innovate When Faster is the New Fast, emphasized the need to be ready.
