As we all set off on holiday travel a few reminders of gratitude:
- most people travel only a handful of times in their lifetime
- trips many of us go on multiple times per year are once-in-a-lifetime, bucket list trips for many people
- most people sit in economy seats, even on long haul flights

While everyone else was lined up for Wicked last night, I popped in to see Rental Family. Couple of observations:
* So many people in the lobby dressed as witches. Very cool.
* Brendan Fraser is a fricken treasure. Put him in everything.
* Writer/director Hikari creates beautiful art.

I'll never write like Bourdain, Buffett, or Hemingway, but I still take notes at the end of the day when I travel and make an attempt at wrapping them in nouns and verbs when I get home.

Mamma Mia. Greece, How Could Anyone Resist You?
Greece gives you the postcard views, sure. But it’s the moments you’d write on the back that stay with you — backing a stick-shift down a village hill, lazy taverna lunches, flaneuring the day away…

micromobility is one of the most potentially transformative and exciting sectors in mobility tech, but it also faces some of the toughest paths to economic viability
NEW: Rad Power Bikes has told employees it will go out of business in January without new funding.
The company said in a staff email that it had a "very promising" option to stay alive, but whatever that was, it fell apart.

A pro-ICE sheriff in a purple Philly suburban county got the boot as well.
Feel like law enforcement races are the ones least likely to flip to Dems, but last night even those did.
And a pro-ICE sheriff lost in a county that is 80% white. So this wasn’t just the cratering of Hispanic GOP support.

Democrats just ran the table, winning the marquee races -- NJ and VA sweeps, NYC mayor, CA prop, PA Supreme Court -- and lower-profile races in red and purple states across the nation.
If the media you're reading or watching paints this as anything but a massive win, stop reading or watching them.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

I’ve written messaging for judges and shot campaign photos for local candidates. By my count, every school board candidate I photographed this round won last night. Small stuff, but it’s how I stay involved.

As Akamai's COO, Adam Karon, puts it: "Bigger isn’t better. Not any more. AI is breaking the decades-old cloud model as companies run up against rising inference costs and latency issues. Focus is shifting from power to proximity, from megawatts to milliseconds."

That said, "In five years, hyperscale data-centers will still have their place in AI, but I'll take Jensen's bit; I think distributed AI will be a billion times larger, across edge devices, on-premises systems, and specialized hardware."
They will, because they're incredibly useful applications.
