Six Links Worthy of Your Attention #590

Is there one link, story, picture or thought that you saw online this week that you think somebody you know must see?

My friends: Alistair Croll (Solve for Interesting, Tilt the Windmill, Interesting Bits, HBS, chair of Strata, Startupfest, FWD50, and Scaletechconf; author of Lean Analytics and some other books), Hugh McGuire (Rebus Foundation, PressBooks, LibriVox) and I decided that every week the three of us are going to share one link for one another (for a total of six links) that each individual feels the other person “must see.”

Check out these six links that we’re recommending to one another: 

AI-Created Outfits – Technology @ Nordstrom – Medium. “Nordstrom used an AI to create matching outfits, something it used to do through expert shoppers—part of the brand it built around personalized service for decades. Here’s how they did it, and most interestingly for data nerds like me, how they checked that the outfits worked.” (Alistair for Hugh).
Bronze Seeks Silver – The Agency Review . “I’m guessing you know many of the characters in this review of Bronze Seeks Silver, Mat Zucker‘s mid-life memoir about being a digital-first ad agency protagonist in a time when digital was seen as marginal and unnecessary. If you don’t, you’d probably love this book; if you do, this review will make you nod your head a lot and maybe even shed a nostalgic tear.” (Alistair for Mitch). Neil Young – Don’t Be Denied – Live at Wembley 1974 – YouTube . “I’ve recently spent a lot of time listening to music – new and old – and went down a Neil Young rabbit hole last week. He’s sort of a background icon in my music pantheon: I’ve listened to an awful lot of Neil in my life, but have never been a student of his work. It’s been a real pleasure listening to the huge range and honesty in his work over the last little while, and here’s a song I don’t think I’ve ever heard before, which has become my (current) favorite Neil Young song.” (Hugh for Alistair). Thom Yorke on Neil Young – Interview, raw footage – YouTube . “Sticking on the music theme, here’s Radiohead‘s Thom Yorke talking about Neil Young.” (Hugh for Mitch).  Do We Really Need to Meet In Person? – The Atlantic . “I’ll answer this one: Yes. Not always. But, it’s more important than most people realize, while also being abused more often than people realize. I have a meeting (in person) that will require me to be away for three days (one day of travel there, one meeting for a few hours, and one day of travel home). Would it be better for me to join via Zoom? Depends. It depends on the meeting and the need. Why the rant? We’re too quick to think that one answer solves the question. But, here’s what I do know: The meetings that have resulted in new clients, big wins, and an ascent in my career have always been because of a meeting that took place in our protein forms. With that, I can see a world where business flights are shunned, as we focus in on fixing this climate crisis.” (Mitch for Alistair). The rise of “third workplaces” – Axios . “I’ve always loved the idea of a ’third workplace’. I recognize the weirdness in that statement, because many are still working from home and haven’t seen their offices in a beat. With that, many people may have already discovered their ’third place’ because of the pandemic. I have a few ’third places’ for my work, and – trust me – they are all very inspiring and result in a better and happier me.” (Mitch for Hugh).

Six Links Worthy of Your Attention #589

Is there one link, story, picture or thought that you saw online this week that you think somebody you know must see?

My friends: Alistair Croll (Solve for Interesting, Tilt the Windmill, Interesting Bits, HBS, chair of Strata, Startupfest, FWD50, and Scaletechconf; author of Lean Analytics and some other books), Hugh McGuire (Rebus Foundation, PressBooks, LibriVox) and I decided that every week the three of us are going to share one link for one another (for a total of six links) that each individual feels the other person “must see.”

Check out these six links that we’re recommending to one another: 

The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth – Cato Institute. “The other day, I asked Twitter how many people really understood the way an election works. How do we know it’s secure, and that the results are trustworthy? We’re in a crisis of truth, spurred on by the fact that anyone can transmit to everyone for free—something the framers of various constitutions failed to admit, often with deadly or catastrophic consequences. In this Cato Institute podcast, the Brookings Institute‘s Jonathan Rauch argues that we need to build back respect for how we create new knowledge.” (Alistair for Hugh). An Oral History of How Stupid, Sexy Flanders Got Such A Stupid, Sexy Ass – Mel Magazine . “Setting a new moral low for our links with this one. I guess it’s a meta-link. The Internet has been a goldmine for oral histories of even the most minute things. Exhibit A: I didn’t know Ned Flanders was fit—and I mean shredded—underneath that do-good generic The Simpsons clothing. It’s a thing. Here’s everything you never knew you needed to know about that thing, including references to articles listing every time The Flanders was hunky in the show’s thirty-three seasons and 706 episodes.” (Alistair for Mitch). The Power of Solutions Journalism – Your Undivided Attention . “We live in perilous times, and (I guess?) the most worrisome for me is the sense that things are falling apart, and the center will not hold. We don’t seem to even want to agree on facts, or the rules of the game. And if we can’t agree on anything, well, it sure will be hard to solve climate change or whatever you like. It’s never occurred to me that a fundamental approach to journalism — ‘if it bleeds it leads’, investigations of everything wrong with Facebook or elections or anti-vaxxers etc — may be a big part of the problem. The solution, it turns out, might be solutions journalism, that is framing stories not as ‘here is a problem that sucks,’ but rather, ‘here is how this other city solved this problem, and it’s working.'” (Hugh for Alistair).  Duet: David Byrne and Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson – Public Theater NY . “Talking Heads‘ David Byrne and The Roots‘ Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson talk music.” (Hugh for Mitch). I’m a life coach, you’re a life coach: the rise of an unregulated industry – The Guardian . “Have you heard the saying: ’Trust but verify’? It’s so easy to fall into the social trappings of someone’s website and LinkedIn profile. I have a background in journalism and often struggle when trying to sort the wheat from the chaff, when it comes to a person’s ‘real’ credentials. Many ‘bestselling authors’ have paid to get that title or claim the title because at a moment in time they managed to get their book to rank in a minor sub-category on Amazon for a blink. How do you know that your life coach isn’t actually someone who could really use a life coach of their own? Is it time to regulate advice givers? How do we value experience over opinion? How dangerous might it be to work with someone who is actually giving out harmful recommendations?” (Mitch for Alistair).   Dune Foresaw—and Influenced—Half a Century of Global Conflict – Wired . “I have the famed science fiction novel, Dune, sitting right over here on a shelf. When the movie was announced, I thought that it might be the driver to get me to (finally) read it. It hasn’t happened yet. I’m actually intimidated by this book. I even bought a comic book series based on Dune, and that pushed me further away from reading it. Reading this article is getting me closer. And, once again, we’re at that moment in time when a book first published in 1965 spelled it all out for us…” (Mitch for Hugh).

Bakithi Kumalo On This Month’s Groove – The No Treble Podcast

Bakithi Kumalo is this month’s conversation on Groove – The No Treble Podcast.

You can listen the new episode right here: Groove – The No Treble Podcast – Episode #82 – Bakithi Kumalo.

Who is Bakithi Kumalo ?

Seven words say it all: Legendary Grammy Award-winning bass player for Paul Simon. That is all that you need to say, and you can hear the unique fretless groove bass sound of Bakithi Kumalo‘s music in your brain. And it was no small journey to get there from BK’s native Soweto Township of Johannesburg, where he was surrounded by relatives and friends who loved music, while also being surrounded by apartheid. Bakithi worked as a session musician in South Africa during the 1970s and 1980s, but it’s hard not to anchor his enlistment into Paul Simon’s group during the recording sessions for what would become 1985’s Graceland album as a pivotal moment in his life (including his move to the United States). From there, Bakithi has recorded or toured with many of the biggest names in music. From Gloria Estefan and Josh Groban to the Grateful Dead, Herbie Hancock and beyond. It doesn’t stop there, Bakithi is also an accomplished solo artist with over five albums under his belt, including his newest, What You Hear Is What You See. He is legendary. Enjoy the conversation…

What is Groove – The No Treble Podcast?

This is an ambitious effort. This will be a fascinating conversation. Our goal at Groove is to build the largest oral history of bass players. Why Groove? Most of the content about the bass revolves around gear, playing techniques, and more technical chatter. For us, bassists are creative artists with stories to tell. They are a force to be reckon with. These are the stories and conversation that we will capture. To create this oral history of why these artists chose the bass, what their creative lives are like, and where inspiration can be found.

Amazon Brings Robots Into Your Home

Your digital media catch-up is right here.

Every Tuesday – for just a few minutes – I join Heather Backman (my old buddy from her days on CHOM FM) on the air at Jack 103 (Rogers Sports & Media) to give a quick blast about the current state of technology, media and Internet culture. We’re calling the segment Tech Tuesday (and we do it in just a few minutes).

What is Tech Tuesday?

If you ever find yourself wondering… What, exactly, is the point of TikTok? How can I make myself look better on a Zoom? Reddit? What’s that about? How do I help my kids be safer online? Who’s the latest creator and streamer that I should be checking out?

You are not alone.

This is what Heather Backman and I discussed this morning over on Jack 103 FM for a couple of minutes:

Say Hello To Astro, Alexa On Wheels – The Verge.

Well, Amazon is at it again. They just announced the launch of a home robot… Astro. Well… is this the cutest thing in the world and the next step (beyond the Roomba) to have roaming robots in our home, or is this a privacy/Big Brother nightmare? 

“The Astro, which will initially cost $999.99 and available as a Day 1 Edition product that you can request an invite for the privilege of buying, is Amazon’s most ambitious in-home product yet. Amazon sees it as bringing together many different parts of the company — robotics, AI, home monitoring, cloud services — all into one device. Best described as the love child between a Roomba and an Echo Show smart display, the Astro is meant to be the next step in what Amazons believes to be the seemingly inevitable home robot. Amazon claims the Astro can do a wide variety of things you might want from a home robot. It can map out your floor plan and obey commands to go to a specific room. It can recognize faces and deliver items to a specific person. It can play music and show you the weather and answer questions like any Echo smart display. It can be used for video calls, always keeping you in frame by literally following your movements. It can roam around your house when you aren’t home, making sure everything is okay. It can raise its periscope camera to show you whether you’ve turned the stove off. It can use third-party accessories to record data like blood pressure.”

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords. Do you?

App of the week: Booky Call – dating sucks… So date a book?

Once the segment goes live on Jack 103, I will post it here for you to listen in, learn, share and engage….

Six Links Worthy of Your Attention #588

Is there one link, story, picture or thought that you saw online this week that you think somebody you know must see?

My friends: Alistair Croll (Solve for Interesting, Tilt the Windmill, Interesting Bits, HBS, chair of Strata, Startupfest, FWD50, and Scaletechconf; author of Lean Analytics and some other books), Hugh McGuire (Rebus Foundation, PressBooks, LibriVox) and I decided that every week the three of us are going to share one link for one another (for a total of six links) that each individual feels the other person “must see.”

Check out these six links that we’re recommending to one another: 

The dirty secret about success – BBC – Worklife. “Success is mostly luck. Luck is mostly opportunity. Sorry, decades of expertise, but your wealth is more about chances than what you do with them.” (Alistair for Hugh). A Teenager On TikTok Disrupted Thousands of Scientific Studies With A Single Video – The Verge . “If you’re doing social science work, the Internet has been a boon. Easy access to millions of respondents mean your studies can proceed quickly, globally. Startups have emerged to help this process, from Amazon‘s Mechanical Turk to tools like SurveyMonkey to research panels like Prolific. But scientific studies require a representative sample—so when a TikTok video on sidegigs went viral, things broke a bit.” (Alistair for Mitch). The largest space telescope in history is about to blow our minds – Vox . “Work on the Hubble Telescope started in the 1970s, and it was launched in 1990, as one of the largest telescopes humans have created, delivering some of the most important images of deep space. It’s lead to breakthroughs in our understanding of: the age of the universe, expansion of the universe, prevalence of black holes, size of the Milky Way, among others. Well, there’s a new kid on the block, and on December 18, 2021 the James Webb Space Telescope will be launched. It’ll be 100x more powerful than Hubble, and is likely to shake up our understanding of the universe.” (Hugh for Alistair). Estonia calls for tech innovators to collaborate on new government services – Global Government Forum . “Estonia’s Digital Testbed Framework ‘is a new and innovative collaboration model that will give access to the government’s tech stack to build innovative products or services and get proof of concept from one of the most digitally advanced countries in the world.’ The idea is to make it easy for tech companies to develop improved government services without having to go through all the red tape that usually comes with working with the government.” (Hugh for Mitch).    Clubhouse Needs Creators, But Creators Need Cash – The Verge . “I still believe that there is value in a platform like Clubhouse. At the same time, I’m not ‘in there’ like I used to be. There are still a handful of rooms that I either co-moderate or pop into on a weekly basis, but that’s about it. Clubhouse is finding its own culture and pulse, and it’s not all for someone like me (which is fine). The business of Clubhouse continues to interest me. With so much money at their disposal (a valuation in the billions), it seems like the creators on the platform want a piece of something. Which is different than before. Other digital platforms would flounder from the get-go, so the creators and the platform are ‘working together’ to go somewhere. This seems different, as the creators see the platform as having millions of dollars to play with, and very little of that cash trickling down to the people hosting rooms. Here’s an interesting business problem…” (Mitch for Alistair). Pinker’s progress: the celebrity scientist at the centre of the culture wars – The Guardian . “I’m a fan of Steven Pinker’s work (he has a new book out called, Rationality – What It Is. Why It Seems Scarce. Why It Matters). He’s a Montrealer (who doesn’t live here anymore). His mother was my principal at elementary school, and I’ve gotten to know his sister, Susan Pinker (another big brain writer/thinker worth knowing/following), over the past few years. Is Steven’s work universally accepted? No. Is his work worth consuming, analyzing and criticizing? Yes. Here’s a very long read about what happens when a thinker’s work breaks through, and how culture/society often reacts. Does popularity immediately make someone contentious? It might be the case…” (Mitch for Hugh).

Celebrating 19 Years of Six Pixels of Separation

This blog, Six Pixels of Separation, started on September 29th, 2003.

19 years ago today.
It was created for the purest of reasons.
If the big industry publications would be gatekeepers of my writing, I wanted my own outlet.

It worked.

First, it was called the Twist Image Blog (the name of my old marketing agency).
A few years in, it became Six Pixels of Separation.
At the time, I would write sporadically.
Then I would write daily.
Then, in 2006, I would write six times a week and publish my podcast on Sunday.
The Six Pixels of Separation Podcast is closing in on 800 episodes.
I can’t be sure, but it just might be the longest running business podcast in the world.
While I don’t publish every day, I am still creating anywhere between 3-5 new pieces of content every week.

Things have changed.

One of those changes, is that I can (and do) like to embed audio and video into these posts.
Another thing that has changed is you, and how you consume content.
There’s more content.
There’s more people creating more content.
There’s more people creating more content on many more platforms.
That’s for sure.
But why I create content has never changed.

I’m trying to help you be better at your work.

Full stop.
It’s not about likes.
It’s not about followers.
It’s not about subscribers.
It’s not about any level of micro-fame.
I’ve said it before.

I will say it again:

I would much rather be the person who writes the cover story for the magazine than have may face on the cover of a magazine.

I don’t want to waste your time.

It’s why I “try” not to post incessantly on social media.
It’s why I try to shy away from “look at me” content and focus more on “is this going to make your work better?” content.
19 years is no overnight success.
Through this all, I have published two books (Six Pixels of Separation and CTRL ALT Delete).
We (with my former business partners) built and sold that marketing agency.
I get to speak on stages all over the world about decoding the future.
I get to invest and advise some of the most interesting businesses out there.
I get to (soon) tell you all about my next grand adventure.

But this Six Pixels of Separation blog adventure continues…

Over 6000 pieces of content.
I feel like I have yet to even scratch the surface.
As I continue to dig into the words, the audio, the video and the images, I hope that you will join me.
And, yes, this one was a little too much about me.
Apologies.
I just wanted to mark this day and than you for your attention, feedback and inspiration.

Now… back to serving you…
