This morning's jolk
This afternoon after a visit to one of the op shops.
And last be not least ...a monkey apple tree
The Kereru (native wood pigeon) loves the monkey apple berries, and now so do I...For many years I've watched the Kereru feasting on the berries all the while thinking that they were poisonous to humans, that was until just recently when a client at work asked if he could pick some monkey apples from the big tree on the property ...anyway he picked some and offered some to me, it turns out they taste a bit like guava, quite nice...All those monkey apple years gone to waste....
I found this a really interesting critique of the processes of Big Tech, where a service starts good and cheap, and becomes large and entrenched, and then becomes noticeably poor value for customers. Enshittification, it is also called.
