🔥 Hot Takes Tuesday for 2025-06-03
💰 + 🤯 There are the prevailing PE narratives… and then is PE that operates on another level of reality.

🤪 Wacky Wednesday for 2025-06-04
Each Wednesday I then select the most interesting shared link from dozens of Slack communities. This will always be a safe for work link. 🙈
🔙 Throwback Thursday for 2025-06-05
🤖 + 🧫 One story caught my eye this week was Cortical Labs announcing the shipping of their biological computer this summer.
https://www.techmeme.com/250604/p7#a250604p7
For perspective, organoid computing and organoid intelligence running atop biological operating system… (BIOs — get it?) has been getting more coverage lately.
Back in 2009, even Intel was describing our biological computing future.
During the 1970s, if you watched the TV series, Tomorrow People, then you might remember their biotic computer, TIM.
✅ Final Thoughts Friday for 2025-06-06
🤖 + 🚁 The story that caught my eye this week was the expansion of drone delivery in Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Orlando, and Tampa.
https://www.techmeme.com/250605/p41#a250605p41
To understand the impact of this expansion, consider the speed in which is has arrived in less than 10 years.

🔮 Sneak Peak Saturday for 2025-06-07
Ah, the Friday news dump. By Friday, everything seems to be reaching the peak of getting news turned in before a deadline or dread-line.
Peak 🏔️ vs. Peek 👀
Then there is a trope, cliché, or bromide about slow news days and the quietly mentioned news updates sent on a Friday — to try and sneak it past wider coverage. Or, in a nutshell, peak patronizing publishing.
🤔 🤨 🧐 Just a couple that caught my technologist eye…
