For the third year in a row I will be pledging to walk 20 miles in a week to raise funds for A Leg To Stand On. The pledge might not seem like much but the charity is amazing. This charity that provides free prosthetic limbs, orthotic braces and appropriately fitted wheelchairs to children from birth to their 26th birthday, providing the foundation needed to break the poverty cycle: independence, education, and future gainful employment. Please donate… https://charity.pledgeit.org/move/@alexandronov

Support Alex Andronov - Move for ALTSO. Movement Competition.

Movement fuels our energy, lifts our mood, sharpens our minds, and affects everything we do. This May, I'm celebrating Mobility Awareness Month with A Leg To Stand On (ALTSO) and dedicating 5 days of movement to provide high-quality mobility care to CoolKids in emerging countries. Will you join me? Let's Move! Why I #MoveForALTSO: 106 million children live with untreated disabilities in emerging countries, but 95% cannot access care, isolating them from school, play, and daily life. Each one will need ongoing care as they grow. ALTSO provides free, high-quality prosthetic limbs, orthotic braces and appropriately fitted wheelchairs to CoolKids from birth to their 26th birthday. I'm using my own mobility to help CoolKids walk & roll — into classrooms, communities, and a future filled with opportunity. How You Can Help: - Move with me. Sign up. Track your movement (walk, run, swim, bike), compete for prizes, and raise funds. Together, we can move 3,500 miles in 5 days. Let's Move! - Pledge per mile. Make a contribution based on the number of miles I hope to move. - One-time donation. All funds raised will help to provide high-quality prosthetic limbs, appropriately fitted wheelchairs, and orthotic braces to CoolKids .

Hello! I recently spent 5 days in ICU due to having a burst appendix. Something I would not particularly recommend. I decided to write up my experience with the amazing nurses and what they were all like. I was so lucky, they were all so brilliant, but all different! https://gamboling.co.uk/2025/09/25/hospital-visit/

Hospital Visit

I recently had to spend 5 days in ICU after having had an operation to remove a burst appendix. The route into hospital and the people who dealt with me and did my surgery were amazing, but I just …

@gruber @siracusa a Jobs quote from the Isaacson book, “My passion has been to build an enduring company where people were motivated to make great products. The products, not the profits, were the motivation. Sculley flipped these priorities to where the goal was to make money. It’s a subtle difference, but it ends up meaning everything - the people you hire, who gets promoted, what you discuss in meetings.” https://hbr.org/2011/10/steve-jobs-solved-the-innovato (extra point as article mentions “necessary but not sufficient”)

Steve Jobs Solved the Innovator’s Dilemma

In the lead up to today’s release of the Steve Jobs biography, there’s been an increasing stream of news surrounding its subject. As a business researcher, I was particularly interested in this recent article that referenced from his biography a list of Jobs’s favorite books. There’s one business book on this list, and it “deeply […]

Kay Savetz took a leap of faith and bought dozens of master tapes for a lost radio show, with one of a kind interviews on them. He's seeking funds to pay a professional to digitize the tapes, and they all go on Internet Archive.

Douglas Adams, Bill Gates, Atari’s Jack Tramiel, MacPaint’s Bill Atkinson, Infocom’s Joel Berez, Star Trek’s Gene Roddenberry, musician Herbie Hancock, EA’s Trip Hawkins, Stewart Brand... they're all on here.

@mrschristine many years ago in 2009, I sent you a (frankly terrible) picture of a panda in Berlin. Here it is again, the one with me in the white shirt. I was there again today. Different Panda, slightly more visible.

@gruber on the topic of the long period between Vision Pro editions even if it’s not true it might be very handy to have that message out right now. Why? My guess is that on Tuesday they’ll be announcing a slew of new countries for Vision Pro. Remember it isn’t on sale anywhere yet outside the US. Usually the launch is late in other countries but then you catch up to latest, how many are you going to sell if you think you only have 6 months with a generation 1 product?
