iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Absolutely superb conditions today for saying ‘it doesn’t feel like a Tuesday.’ Say it early, say it often and just have fun with it. It’s a small talk goldmine and you’d be a fool not to get involved.

Stood in the sea watching a giant smoke plume rise from the woods above the buildings. Ash began to rain down on the crowded beach and the air turned acrid.

Brian Case died this week. @petepaphides.bsky.social has written the most beautiful appreciation of his work as a jazz writer. It’s wonderful. And this extract is just as profound about why music writers write about music as it is about jazz.

I have made it an annual tradition to document Mark Twain’s hatred of July 4th celebrations, but I saved something special for America 250. Twain was part of the centennial celebration in Philadelphia in 1876. He was part of what the dubbed the “Congress of Authors”…

I look at the world, at the forests and the mountains here, the sky, and it's all right, as it should be. But we aren't. People aren't. We're wrong. We do wrong. No animal does wrong. How could they? But we can, and we do. And we never stop.

I’m not dead. I sleep sometimes. Sleep comes very close to death, everyone knows that. The dead walk in dreams, everyone knows that. They come to you alive, and they say things. They walk out of death into the dreams.
