A highlight was hearing Michael Hibbert tell a ripper racing story about a fast — but unknown — Graeme Rogerson racehorse from NZ in the late eighties that ran in the Prime Minister’s Cup on the Gold Coast… resulting in a legendary clean-out of Packer’s bookies! 🏇💰

Fun With NFC Cards

I’ve been messing around with NFC cards and trying to figure out if I should just self-roll my own virtual business card (like Popl.co and Dot).

I’m a big business networker. I’ve been an entrepreneur for more than 18 years. (Yikes!)

I do love a good business card, but I’m also intrigued, and have been for a while, with the NFC tap card business cards.

It’s actually not that difficult to do and the way around the NFC vcard blockage on iOS is to host the vcard on a web server and directly link to it via a button.

And the best way to get the other person’s contact info is to setup a contact form on your links page for them to exchange the contact info with you.

So instead of paying for Popl.co on a monthly/yearly basis or one time for Dot, etc. maybe spin up your own. I’m tempted to do that.

I’ll report back.
