Let me guess… this amazing Greenland deal is going to end up being the same thing the US could have already received a few months ago without all of the chaos, hostility, and threats of force
President Trump said Wednesday that he had reached the framework of a deal with NATO over Greenland’s future, hours after alliance officials separately discussed the possibility of the U.S. obtaining sovereignty over land for military bases, according to three officials. nyti.ms/49QyKNy

Imagine you're in a room full of extremely smart people—all of whom are actively helping you with a complex problem. But you have to interact with each of those advisors 1-on-1, and they're not allowed to share information with each other.

I made some changes earlier to my home wifi network due to speed & latency issues caused by AT&T's router and "ActiveArmor" security. Then I noticed my iPhone (Verizon) cell signal was showing SOS. Been pulling my hair out for hours trying to diagnose & fix it...

I added a third sonic palette to @sonaur.app today.
This is not recorded music and not AI-generated sound. Every sample is created by a human artist. The system simply decides when and how those sounds appear.

After nearly 20 years in UX design, I built and launched my first iOS app. Sonaur started with Brian Eno's observation: "You know, a wind chime is basically a simple piece of generative music."

If 2025 has proven anything, it's that you can literally be one of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world... You can "have it all" as they say. Yet even with everything money & power can buy, you may still end up a lonely, miserable, self-loathing, pathetic, hateful, shithead
