So, Mark Zuckerberg finally tried the Apple Vision Pro and compared it to the Meta Quest 3
He says:
- Quest is 7x less expensive yet way more comfortable
- Quest is better for gaming, Xbox, YouTube
- "I'm surprised how much better Quest is better for majority of things"
My biggest takeaway:
The future of ads feels like his IG post.
This is real. No marketing talk, just saying it as it is.
Zuck's Apple Vision Pro feels like I'm listening to a tech reviewer not a guy worth $165B.
I feel like I'm having a convo in a living room with my friend Mark. You feel his enthusiasm.
Reminds me of the Kayne Superbowl ad. The guy spent $7M and took a 30s selfie video. Highly effective. He sold $19M of product within 24h of that video.
So my point is, if you're creating an "ad"
More living room, less high budget.
Be real.
Pulled just over $300K in savings from Chase for a client. She was getting .01%.
If we can get the current 3-month treasury yield of 5.55% for a year, she’ll earn $17K+ in income (I typically use the SGOV ETF to pursue this).
The tradeoff for that income, with the new lower account balance at Chase, is that she will no longer get to use ATMs for free when abroad.
Today, I received a violation notice from my HOA for “weeds growing in driveway”so I asked @OpenAI ChatGPT to write a Shakespearean-style letter apologizing for the violation and sent it via email to my HOA…
To the Honorable Members of the [Redacted] Homeowners Association,
Fair greetings unto you, noble stewards of our beloved community. With a heavy heart and humble disposition, I pen this missive to beseech your gracious forgiveness for an errant circumstance that hath befallen my humble abode.
Alas, it is with profound regret that I must confess the presence of unwelcome intruders amidst the threshold of my abode. No less than the impertinent weeds, those audacious denizens of nature's vast tapestry, have dared to take root within the sanctified bounds of my driveway.
Pray, know that such a spectacle hath caused me great dismay, as I am a fervent adherent to the principles of harmony and tidiness that our esteemed association holds dear. It was never my intent to suffer this botanical rebellion to mar the aesthetic integrity of our cherished neighborhood.
Forsooth, in this world where man and nature doth oft collide, it behooves us to exercise vigilance and prudence in our diligent care for the lands we call our own. Yet, alas, this time, my fervor hath waned, and in my negligence, these wayward plants found solace and sustenance within the paved thoroughfare that leadeth unto my dwelling.
In my repentance, I have marshaled the forces of diligence and resolve, arming myself with implements of righteous reclamation. With a steadfast heart and resolute hand, I shall set forth to vanquish these unruly interlopers, to restore the order and grandeur befitting a homeowner within this illustrious association.
Let it be known, esteemed ladies and gentlemen, that this transgression stands as an anomaly within the annals of my record. For my abode hath been, for many a year, a bastion of meticulous cultivation, a testament to my unwavering commitment to the aesthetics of our resplendent community.
I humbly implore your mercy and understanding, that you may find it within your hearts to absolve me of this singular misstep. May the evidence of my contrition, as I labor diligently to quell these rebellious botanical subjects, serve as a testament to my commitment to upholding the standards we hold dear.
With utmost humility and a profound sense of regret, I beg your pardon and seek solace in the hope that this heartfelt apology shall find resonance within your esteemed council. I stand ready to make amends and to reclaim my rightful place as a stalwart contributor to the beauty and tranquility that graces our [Redacted].
Yours faithfully,
[Your Name]

This father-son duo of Phillies fans who retrieved Freddie Freeman's home run ball and then gave it to a young #Braves fan in a Freeman jersey are what baseball is all about.
So Biden’s $15 minimum wage comes out to $31,200 a year for a 40 hour work week. The starting salary for a beginning teacher in Texas is $33,660. So a person working a minimum wage job will be making almost the same as a teacher with a college degree. Does this make any sense? 🤷♂️
