Father EnochI had a long post planed about how #Maythe4th, intentionally or not, obscures a shameful and important part of #AmericanHistory, and then I slept in.
So I'm going to keep this brief (for me) and remind everyone who reads this that today is ALSO the fifty fifth #anniversary of the #KentStateShooting.
Something a TAD more important than #StarWars, and would be even if the #UnitedStates WASN'T becoming a pale imitation of "The Empire."

Futurist Jim Carroll“Never put yourself in a position in which you regret what you didn’t do. - Futurist Jim Carroll

Forty-one years ago today, I stepped onto a plane in Halifax, Nova Scotia, heading toward a national office in Toronto, Ontario, and a future that didn't yet have a name.
I was a Chartered Accountant by trade, but my heart was already in the "pipes"—the emerging, messy world of computer connectivity. For three years, I had already immersed myself deep into the opportunities that came from the online world, understanding the power of global collaboration, online research, knowledge acceleration, and disruptive ideas. In my heart and in my mind, I just knew that something big was on the way, and I wanted to be a part of it.
41 years on, I know I did the right thing.
Many times in your life, you will need to confront similar big decisions. Should you make the big, bold leap? Should you take the daring jump into the unknown? Can you really hold your breath, close your eyes, take the plunge into tomorrow, and hope for the best?
If you don't, you might end up regretting not doing the most important thing you should have done.
Never put yourself in that situation.
The greatest risk you will ever take is the risk of staying where you are when you know you were meant for what’s next.
Don't ask what happens if you fail.
Ask what happens if you never try at all.

Futurist Jim Carroll has been in the online world since 1982. He's seen it go from its nascent beginnings to the massive global machine that it is today.

PhicklephillyThe Galaxy, the Girl, and the 50-Year Echo from the 70s
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... They say you never forget your first—your first job, your first date, or the first time you saw a Star Destroyer fill a cinema screen. For me, the summer of 1977 was the perfect storm of all three. I was a pool boy at the El Morro Motel in Wildwood, New Jersey. It was my first real gig, spent under the relentless Jersey sun, skimming leaves and smelling of chlorine. But that July, the air felt different. That was the week I met a girl from […]https://phicklephilly.wordpress.com/2026/05/04/the-galaxy-the-girl-and-the-50-year-echo/
