Paths

Greenwich, UK, 0° longitude. Shot this in 2014. Best I could do for the title, above.

We’re in the phone book! We’re real now!

MyTerms now has a YouTube channel. The one item there, so far, is a short and remarkably good NotebookLM summary of my hour-long talk, The Case for MyTerms, at Indiana University.

Also, Gemini failed. I still don’t know who she was.

I think we could have powered two cities with the work Gemini just did, thinking slowly to help me identify the actress that my old pal Drew Youngs sings about in his video (and musical composition) Betty the Bloop. In an unrelated matter, somewhere I have still photos (remember those?) of the work Drew’s dad’s body shop did fixing the crushed rear end of my new 1985 Toyota Camry after it was crunched by a drunk driver on Alma at Chruchill that same year in Palo Alto. Best car I ever had, by the way.

Be in charge

Phil Windley waxes wise on authorization. Here’s why this topic matters: In the future, the companies and organizations you deal with won’t do anything without your permission and guidance. (Thank MyTerms for getting that ball rolling.) You will need tools of your own rather than those entities’ internal systems, all of which (at least the way business works today) are captivity traps.

Adrian Gropper, M.D. has been all over this topic (and adjacent ones) for many years. If you care about your health (or anyone’s), dig the work happening here in Github. Here’s the readme.

Like I said

the other day.

  1. Authorization determines who can have access and authenticates them. MyTerms is the permission piece following the permissions they have to access what.
