Welp. Here. We. Go. Hi Blue Sky, I'm Dan. I'm middle aged agency guy, master's student studying foresight, audiophile, average photographer, average musician, slightly above average writer and nerd. Talk to me about #futuresthinking, #foresight, #vinyl, #guitars, #recipes and anything web.

It's taken a lot longer than initially expected, but Stein's Law remains undefeated, and it is coming for Russia's economy

The rooster looks like a total badass. I'm sure I looked just as badass rolling my own cigarettes when I was managing a coffee shop in the mid 90s. 🤣

Related: This little volume of thought from Cuong Lu has been a shelter when my mind wanders to darker corners in December/January.

The pre-holiday week is typically one of my favorites in what's otherwise my least favorite times of the year because everyone else is off prepping for holidays and I get head down, meeting free work blocks where my brain can rest and I can focus on research and things I've been putting off.

My lands we do get some lovely sunrises over the river on icy winter mornings.

Now it’s feeling like a party again. Good to see that face on my feed again. 🫡👋

#nowspinning Kurt Vile’s “Walkin’ on a Pretty Daze.” Special place in my brain for this record that I purchased shortly after its release (2013 Matador) but didn’t get into deeply until 2016 when I was having severe anxiety. “Too Hard” lyrics inspired me to quit my job and start my consultancy.

Congrats good sir. For all my travels I’ve never been to Ireland. It’s long been on the list.

I love winter weather but very much enjoying a little sunshine and practicing my golf announcing while visiting my parents this weekend. Back to snowy GR tomorrow.

A very busy day. But here’s Banff, which I’ve been daydreaming about a lot lately. I was there two Januarys ago and miss it terribly.

Had not seen this one yet Claire. Adding it to my scanning radar. Appreciate you my friend!

One thing I really miss from bluesky that's on other platforms is the ability to edit my post. I've made so many fat fingered mistakes that i've had to delete and repost three times today.

More than years ago (2012), Manfred Spitzer coined the term "Digital Dementia." Today, I'm working on tracking a body of new and emerging research and weak signals that include research into how AI, multi- device processing rising screen time is destroying memory and task processing. Send signals!

I had never seen this before. As someone that's just started to scratch the surface on the future of learning (with a kiddo who learns very differently than traditional classroom environments and a massive interest in tech's impact on L&D) this is super helpful. Cheers Ger.

There are so many things and people I love in Texas, but this is so ridiculously tragic and 100 percent avoidable. These bands have essentially created a chilling effect on a doctor's ability to recommend the safest and most impactful treatment in miscarriage. Barbaric. Unsafe. Dangerous.

A 3rd woman died under Texas' abortion ban. Doctors are avoiding D&Cs & reaching for riskier miscarriage treatments.

Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring docs to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages. www.propublica.org/article/pors...

First spin of the day is Hatchback's "Colors Of The Sun." The brainchild of Samuel Milton Graves, the 2008 release is heavy into spacey, electronic vibes and even a bit of disco and Kraut rock. Probably the most beat heavy in his discography. For fans of Neu!, Tangerine Dream, Lusine and Windsurf.
