A simple and excellent local search observation from @GregGifford:

The worst thing about interviewing at places like DoorDash, Starbucks and Google is assuming they looked at your account, and know that you:
- order from the same Thai place, constantly
- have a secret sweet-cream-cold-brew addition
- keep searching "how many quarts in a gallon"

Did you know? This year I've been building websites / web apps increasingly quickly.

This includes a site that went live within TWO HOURS of a news story breaking, and gained loads of attention by being the first to capitalize on it.

Now I want to do the same for others!

I've compiled all of these stories in a slide deck. Should I share more of them?

My hope is that you'll bookmark this for the day that you have an idea you’d like to create for your own brand, or have content that needs to be put online immediately!

Hey @BECU - I found an issue on your website that might be OK for right now, but is potentially going to cause you some nasty issues soon.

Please could you forward these images to someone in your SEO / marketing team, or put me in touch with them (via [email protected])? Thanks!

[Rob Ousbey @RobOusbey]

I don't want or need to keep it.

Prices for the book have gone up, but selling it is exploiting the situation, and I don't like the idea of whoever is paying a premium for it.

I could donate it, but I've no idea to who.

I could destroy it.

What would you do in this situation?

[Rob Ousbey @RobOusbey]

I have an odd question, and need some help.

I have an old book. It's been pulled form circulation, and is no longer published, because the author's family recognized that it contains hurtful racial depictions.

What should I do with it?

Here are some thoughts/options... (1/2)

So the news just happens at the weekends now?

[Rob Ousbey @RobOusbey]

@dr_cintas Great work! What kinds of prompt did you use to get the video to smoothly transition between the images?

I tried uploading two images, and gave a short prompt including "Create a video blend from the first picture to the last." But it just cut between animations of each.

[Rob Ousbey @RobOusbey]

I was out running errands for a few hours on Sunday with @desiwhalen, and we kept track of how many different state license plates we spotted.

The final count was *28 states*.... plus we saw a Guam plate as well!

I think that's our personal best, for just one afternoon.

@tomcritchlow @willcritchlow @dohertyjf It's like a shibboleth for people who worked at one of two very specific consulting businesses.
