Go APE. 1.6.19
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Well, what a day! 27 degrees in London Town.
Tumblr media
With the top logistical team on hand to work out how it is physically safe legal and possible to leave DDD on a Friday night and arrive in Liverpool Sunday evening pre show, via London. Car 🚗 was the chosen method of transport for this final delta phase tour leg. Parked (abandoned) in Shepherd’s Bush and a tube ride to the hotel on Friday night. Let the games begin.
Saturday morning. Arrival at the closest tube station Mile End. There was indeed a ‘Mile’ End to walk to the outer entrance of Victoria Park.
First excitement of the day was purchasing food (McDonalds) from Uber Eats, let’s hope number 354 Old Ford Road didn’t mind me hijacking their address! On the ‘rate my food’ app we gave the five thumbs rating 👍👍👍👍👍 for hotness delivery and all round service. It was indeed the filth on a *plate we needed to survive the day. *plate not included. Nor napkins.
We meet a lovely new couple, Seth and Linda all the way from New Jersey. Flying in for the gig and anniversary weekend! Waves hello to both. A sneaky croissant 🥐 consumed and we were ready to rumble.
The gate time was 1pm the lanes in snaked about 1/2 mile. Tickets scanned body wanded and I was in. Everyone seemed to have a different security experience. Mine was easy others less so.... no outside food allowed inside the park. Security questioned the validity of a tube of factor 50 sunscreen with the need to squeeze some out to validate that it was not food! And I had to pass the sniffer dog twice once on the right side but that was wrong, so had to come in from the left! But the good news was we got the Bourbon biscuits and haribo sweets in. Result. As we walked and not ran towards East Stage there was not a throng of us, just a few trickling through.
Stage set up with the runway style. Barrier spot secured we all set up camp for the day. It was such a relaxed day. Toilet breaks, American Express upgrade wrist bands, 99 Mr Whippy, water from security staff, and Tango all purchased. It was a hot and dusty day. Hay fever aplenty for some. *sneeze*
At 1.45, Mosa Wild opens up the day: great band. And a great 👍 cover of ‘the whole of the moon’.
It was like a flash back to Australia as next was GRETTA RAY and band. Yes, you’ve guessed it, sporting a lacey, off the shoulder red top with cropped flared jeans (newly purchased that day, and Greta commented ‘hard to sit in’! ). Gretta and new band sound great. I should point out that the crowd was still on the light side...... still good access to all amenities!
Tamino Amir brought a different sound to the afternoon. Personally I liked it, others less so. I found the Egyptian style chanting relaxing and rather haunting. The keyboard player borrowed my look for the show.... the problem was the drum was so loud it vibrated down to the field (to the core of the earth in-fact) and even the confetti on the floor was in ear pain.
Post Tamino we had to seek out an emergency round of slush puppies. E numbers and coolness in a plastic cup personified! Lifesavers. Shame about the sturdiness of the paper straw. FYI don’t go for strawberry 🍓! Stick with “raspberry”. Blue is best.
Jade Bird was the up beat kinda gal we needed. Clearly she missed the memo on the weather, wearing a baby blue two piece suit. Belting out some great tunes and loving every minute of it. There was a good crowd for Jade and lots of fans.
Has anyone seen the Vaccines!? They brought it to the park. The party was really warming up. Justin prowling the stage like the true front man he is. They have some anthems. It was during this performance that a chant of ‘ooooh Jeremy Corbynn!’ started behind us, as we turn around there was this 60 something bloke up on the shoulders of someone, virtually crowd surfing! Funny as! His appearance was akin to the Labour Party leader hence the chanting! Funny. Security quickly beckoned him down!
Ok now brace yourself and batten down the hatches. It’s Dizzee Rascal time. By now the pit was 50% fuller of security.... be prepared. Dizzee’s dj was setting up with large screen backdrop for visual effects. Screen number 2.7 clearly giving issues! Well. What a party 🥳 Dizzee knows how to throw it! We did indeed dance and throw some serious moves. It was a little “bonkers” with some serious moshing happening. A few drinks flying around. But security had it all covered. I have to say I loved it. Not really my scene but what a great 60 mins. Never seen so many security staff ‘secretly’ videoing Dizzee during the set!!
The madness ebbed away after Dizzee and normality resumed. All was well.
And we’ve made it to showtime!!!!! Having sneaked a look at a security list we could see Guiding Light was the opener, so no 42, despite the runway.
As the sun set the show starts! A feel-good vibe from the start. Marcus leapt from the amp down along the runway for the end of Guiding light. The chaps soon followed for LLM, straight into the Cave.
Believe had pyro action. And many lights around the crowd quite a spectacle. Ditmas run, Marcus helped out a female member of the audience who either got caught up in the action or felt faint.
Lots of signs, lots of wings, some of them 🦇 bat wings.
Beloved was played with The Staves and sounded particularly emotional. What a sweet sound.
B stage at the end of the runway. Marcus saying they hadn’t done a quiet B stage at a festival before, (memories of Hyde Park?!) Wild Heart, White Blank into Forever, joined by Gretta.
Picture you and Darkness Visible were dropped from the setlist and the pyro! I guess to keep the pace up.
Woman! Seems to be staying in the set. One comment, the red stage lights make it really hard to satisfactorily video!
Rose of Sharon! We loved it. They band looked like they were having a blast playing it. Marcus dancing and spinning and smiling away. It was special.
Marcus saying cover your ears if you don’t want to know the football result.....Liverpool won 2 nil! We have mixed emotions about this news...but that’s so tomorrow.
‘Friends’ popped back into the setlist to round off the night with Gretta, Jade, Leanne Lehavas, The Staves, some vaccines, Dermot Kennedy all joining in the singsong! Such a warm ending to a FAB day!
After a long day, what we really needed was a long sit down on a comfy sofa. What we got was a 1 and a half hours walk to the tube station one stop down from Mile End. Mike End was rammed and the queue was epically long. And not a fake merch seller in sight.
We bid a fond farewell to Seth and Linda. Thanks for your company and kindness. See you again sometime somewhere on the road (hopefully soon). What an epic day!

QUARANTINE ENGAGEMENT: Jeezy Pops The Question To Jeannie Mai & She Says Yes – SEE HER ROCK!
Tumblr media
Love on lockdown! Jeezy asked Jeannie Mai to marry him, and she said yes! Obvi.  See the engagement ring and more inside…
          View this post on Instagram
                      A post shared by People Magazine (@people) on Apr 6, 2020 at 9:32am PDT
  Issa engagement!
Rapper Jeezy had plans to propose to his girlfriend of at least 8 months Jeannie Mai during a previously planned trip to Vietnam, but Coronavirus. No one is going anywhere right now since travel has been restricted around the globe. So, he surprised her a different way.
The 42-year-old retired rapper (real name Jay Wayne Jenkins) set up a special evening where he paid tribute to her culture. He had Vietnamese décor put up and all Vietnamese eats on the “menu” for their “date night.” Then, he popped the question.
“Jeannie and Jay were set for a trip to Vietnam this April. What Jeannie didn’t know is that Jay was planning to propose,” Mai’s rep tells PEOPLE. “Instead, Jay decided to bring Vietnam to Jeannie with a surprise quarantine date night in his home filled with Vietnamese food and decor.”
  And as you can see, the Snowman made sure to make her ring finger hella ICY.

                  Family over everything.. Happy Thanksgiving, from ours to yours.
A post shared by @ jeezy on Nov 28, 2019 at 7:34pm PST
  The engagement comes less than a year after they confirmed they were in a relationship. They had been dating a few months before telling the world. The happy couple made it official when they popped up arm-in-arm at the rapper’s inaugural SnoBall charity gala. A week later, they made it Instagram official, so everyone knows its real.
“We both went through enough in our life to connect on the understanding that love should feel safe, honest, and pure,” Jeannie told PEOPLE previously, explaining what made her fall in love with Jeezy.
“Immediately there was a magnetic attraction. We are very attracted to each other’s passions to serve. So because we have a mutual joy of having purpose, we’re going to find a way to do that together," she continued.

  Jeannie's new relationship with Jeezy is her first serious coupling since divorcing TV host Freddy Harteis after 10 years of marriage. They announced their split in October 2017.

                  @Jeezy baby. Thank you for the bestest birthday gift....you in my life
A post shared by Jeannie Mai (@thejeanniemai) on Jan 2, 2020 at 11:25am PST
  In 2016, it was rumored Jeezy had popped the question to the mother of his daughter, Mahi. The rapper has three children, sons Jadarius & Shyheim, and a daughter named Amir Nor.
Since Jeezy has three kids of his own, she doesn’t have to be pressure to have kids. You’ll recall, Jeannie revealed she and Freddy divorced because he wanted children and she didn’t.

                  If you are healthy, able, and looking for ways to give back, there are many seniors without family and in need of help with groceries. As the most vulnerable population in all of this, we wanted to help the elders living alone and unable to shop in risk of exposure. If anyone in LA is willing to shop and drop off at locations, (ZERO contact with others) to SAFELY help a senior in areas of high need (senior housing facilities or senior centers), please TEXT ME at 310.388.8224 to be connected with @cd6nury and her wonderful team for locations in need. Please practice ALL levels of social distancing and safety protocols with whatever you do. We will get thru this

Robocars, Elon, and More This Year in the Future of Cars
New Post has been published on http://affordablewebhostingsearch.com/robocars-elon-and-more-this-year-in-the-future-of-cars/
Robocars, Elon, and More This Year in the Future of Cars
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Well, it’s been a year in transportation. There were self-driving cars and electric trucks. There was the old guard of tech—now-ancient companies like Uber and Lyft—and new upstarts, like the scooter mavens at Bird and Lime. Lots of people got in trouble. Some emerged victorious. CEOs said outrageous and surprising things. We got to go and see very cool places: control rooms, helicopters, Senegal, Detroit.
So in honor of 2018, this week we’ve got a roundup of roundups—a meta-roundup, if you will. Here you will find some of our favorite stories we’ve written in 2018. You’ll find some usual suspects, like Elon Musk and Dara Khosrowshahi. And also some more surprising characters: mathematicians willing to chat airplane peeing, members of the British Royal Air Force, a bunch of transportation planners. It’s been exciting. It’s been a year. Let’s get you caught up.
Headlines
Our favorite stories that you might have missed from WIRED this year
This tale begins as British pilots sweep the western coast of France for German submarines. And it ends up in 2018, with a deep look into why it’s so hard for humans to work with machines—and what that means for self-driving car testing.
Lines for bathrooms inside airplanes are annoying. Could urinals be the answer? We called up some mathematicians to find out.
Want to make streets safer? Don’t wait for self-driving cars. Redesign them.
Speaking of street redesigns: Maybe if we build our roads for scooters instead of banning them, we’ll make cities a better place to be.
Also in scooters this year: At first, everyone decided that they were bad because they were only for tech bros. But a survey completed this summer found that women and middle- to lower-income urban dwellers had positive perceptions of the scoots, more than their richer, maler peers.
Indiana Jones, eat your heart out. These Belgian archaeologists used airplanes, lidar, aerial photography, and sensors to uncover forgotten battlefields from World War I.
Senior writer Jack Stewart takes the Tesla Model 3 on a trip between LA and Palm Springs, and sort of adores it. Read his detailed review.
WIRED contributor Eric Adams goes adventuring across Senegal with the Diplomatic Courier Service, the US State Department’s very own interoffice mailmen for sensitive documents.
Ack! Here’s how pilots pull this off:
[embedded content]
“Hey, buddy, this doesn’t work!” Musk shouted at the engineer, according to someone who heard the conversation. “Did you do this?”
The engineer was taken aback. He had never met Musk before. Musk didn’t even know the engineer’s name. The young man wasn’t certain what, exactly, Musk was asking him, or why he sounded so angry.
“You mean, program the robot?” the engineer said. “Or design that tool?”
“Did you fucking do this?” Musk asked him.
“I’m not sure what you’re referring to?” the engineer replied apologetically.
“You’re a fucking idiot!” Musk shouted back. “Get the fuck out and don’t come back!”
Tom Cruise Transportation-Adjacent Content of the Year
Jack and WIRED’s intrepid video team flew to Texas to learn how Tom Cruise does helicopter stunts. Everyone survived, mostly because we weren’t allowed to recreate the gnarliest Cruise movies.
Stat of the Year
26,000,000
The number of scooter- and bike-share rides that Lime users have taken since the company launched 18 months ago, according to a year-end report.
Required Reading
Our favorite 2018 stories from elsewhere on the internet
The Information published too many top notch scoops on autonomous vehicles, ride-hailing, and bike- and scooter-share to compile here, so I’ll settle for with reporter Amir Efrati’s latest scoop, on the call center workers who act as remote dispatch “guardian angels” for Waymo’s self-driving cars—and how one now-former contractor with a troubled past ended up working in that safety-critical position.
Over the summer, Tesla CEO Elon Musk attempted to build a child-sized submarine, to help out the rescue of a youth soccer team from a cave in Thailand. One local diver criticized the attempt, and then Elon called him a “pedo” on Twitter. Then he exchanged some very interesting emails with a Buzzfeed reporter.
The Houston Chronicle’s disturbing and deeply reported long read on the city’s road deaths.
Why is Shenzhen, China, so quiet? It’s the EVs, silly.
Jalopnik combs through court documents to tell the disturbing story of the Goodyear G159, an RV tire now linked to multiple fatalities.
The Verge’s Sean O’Kane relentlessly covered the slow-moving car crash that is Chinese-owned electric vehicle company Faraday Future.
The end of Uber v. Waymo, courtesy tech writer (and lawyer) Sarah Jeong.
But the federal investigation into the matter of Uber, Waymo, and the alleged theft of trade secrets by engineer Anthony Levandowski continues. Here’s what it might mean for the future of innovation in Silicon Valley.
Surprise! Levandowski returns, and says he drove across the entire country in a self-driving car.

The number of scooter- and bike-share rides that Lime users have taken since the company launched 18 months ago, according to a year-end report.
Required Reading
Our favorite 2018 stories from elsewhere on the internet
The Information published too many top notch scoops on autonomous vehicles, ride-hailing, and bike- and scooter-share to compile here, so I’ll settle for with reporter Amir Efrati’s latest scoop, on the call center workers who act as remote dispatch “guardian angels” for Waymo’s self-driving cars—and how one now-former contractor with a troubled past ended up working in that safety-critical position.
Over the summer, Tesla CEO Elon Musk attempted to build a child-sized submarine, to help out the rescue of a youth soccer team from a cave in Thailand. One local diver criticized the attempt, and then Elon called him a “pedo” on Twitter. Then he exchanged some very interesting emails with a Buzzfeed reporter.
The Houston Chronicle’s disturbing and deeply reported long read on the city’s road deaths.
Why is Shenzhen, China, so quiet? It’s the EVs, silly.
Jalopnik combs through court documents to tell the disturbing story of the Goodyear G159, an RV tire now linked to multiple fatalities.
The Verge’s Sean O’Kane relentlessly covered the slow-moving car crash that is Chinese-owned electric vehicle company Faraday Future.
The end of Uber v. Waymo, courtesy tech writer (and lawyer) Sarah Jeong.
But the federal investigation into the matter of Uber, Waymo, and the alleged theft of trade secrets by engineer Anthony Levandowski continues. Here’s what it might mean for the future of innovation in Silicon Valley.
Surprise! Levandowski returns, and says he drove across the entire country in a self-driving car.

december 28, 2018
it’s been a while, per usual.
lots has happened. again, as per usual.
kristal3.0 is trying again. she had given up for a while. things were feeling out of control. i was going out a lot, a lot of happy hours, a lot of bars, ubers, strip clubs (found a new one that i liked in culver city). but things have calmed down considerably, appreciatively.
i got back from lisbon, portugal about a week ago. or rather, on December 23rd (and today is the 28th). my jet lag is moderate.
lisbon was interesting. there were some personality conflicts, and i felt uncomfortable with my friends even though they were some of my very best friends. i realized that i liked to wander the streets, go to supermarkets, and sort of experience the day-to-day life of a local, rather than just go to the nicest restaurants and all the museums, historic places. i like to sit, and to soak in, and to drink coffee. i also like to meet and fall in love with locals. that seems to be the biggest thing.
i met her. patty lou, on an app, and then in person. and it was delightful. she was so smart and artistic and articulate. we held hands. we cuddled in her bed. i helped make her a fried egg (not knowing she wanted it scrambled). i looked at pictures of her parents. i felt the softness of her bed, and the weird scratchiness of the pajamas that she had laid out for me. it felt like love. but of course, it was over too soon, and i wept, and felt all the grief of it both at once, and then in ebbs and flows in the following days and nights.
yesterday i asked if she would meet me in paris next month. she declined. i felt my heart break. 
i know it wouldn’t have worked. i know the distance is too far and neither of us are willing to give up our lives for the other. i know i just have this giant desperate hole in my heart that i am so so longing to fill, and i projected it to her, and thought she was it, when she statistically was not. but it threw me into another roller coaster of emotions. 
but i’m learning, and being told that something in my desperation is super duper unhealthy and mildly psychotic. offering to fly across the world to meet a virtual stranger is unhealthy. waiting all day for a message is unhealthy. i would have been jealous and toxic and psychotic and it would have been bad for us both. what’s important for me is .... finding myself. being at peace with myself. standing up for myself. caring for myself.
and so begins, or rather, resumes, more discipline, more mindfulness. amir challenged/forced me into a three day moderate fast/prayer in which i give up meat, eggs, dairy products, and alcohol, and pray about this desperation, this need, this desire, these shackles that drive me into the arms of the nearest stranger. i have yet to pray, but i have had a cheese-less tortilla, and red lentil “pasta” with white clam sauce (kinda gross). it is extremely limiting, as i’m accustomed to eggs and cheese every morning, and pretty literally, half the stuff in my refrigerator right now is shredded cheese for some reason.
next will come the prayer, but i can already feel the passion, and the loss, and the grief ebbing away. it was crazy for me to almost book that flight. it’s crazy how little impulse control i have. i’m so crazy.
i’m trying again: three days of this, and NoSpendJanuary, in which i attempt to spend only on necessities: food, clothes, utilities, mortgage, gas, prescriptions, medical, etc. i’ve looked into my finances and started documenting my monthly expenses and figure that i can get by on $1,000 a month (mandatory gym membership, gas, groceries, internet, and phone bill, with a couple hundred buffer), which would allow me to save $1,000 a month. especially if i give up drinking and SC’s for a while, this should not be so difficult, and this is especially necessary at this time in my life as: i have exhibited so little impulse control, in general i have burned through my buffer savings accounts i have spent more than usual on travel for this portugal trip i will be spending more on travel for argentina in february the stupid SC habit has cost me more than i care to calculate.
and so i try, again. for now, cut out a few food/drink items, and for next month, just ... no unnecessary amazon purchases, no bars, no alcohol, maybe a handful of eating out, but putting everything on credit and closely analyzing my spending afterward.
i’m also reading Your Money or Your Life which i hope shifts my thoughts and attitudes and hopefully philosophy on money.
feeling moderately hopeful.

Stack Ranking and New Connections in Silicon Valley
I continue to believe that at its core, Silicon Valley is about people. The hyper density of smart, driven folks working on tech is simply overwhelming and it’s one of the things I love most about being here.
Last night I extended my network a bit more thanks to an invite from Matt Kamp. Matt and I met at a Founders Pledge dinner earlier this year and we’ve stayed in touch since.
He was in town for a Venture Beat conference and wisely made the best of his trip by organizing a small pau hana get together at The Cavalier.
The attendees were:
Matt Kamp, Senior Vice President, Influence & Co.
John Cowgill, Associate, Costanoa Ventures
Amir Hosseini, Co-Founder, Curry Up Now
Skot Carruth, Philosophie Group, Inc
Spencer Padway, Search Nurture
myself
Turns out John Cowgill was at our Demo Day for Batch 18 of 500 Startups last year and remembered my presentation. That’s pretty cool.
Amir Hosseini really likes what we’re doing at Paubox. I returned the compliment by showing him my Uber Eats purchase history and how prominently Curry Up Now shows up =) He also recommended I check out the Worldz conference, which I will do.
I learned about stack ranking via email questionnaires from Spencer Padway. I’d like to try that for Paubox and trends to look out for in 2018.
I didn’t get a chance to talk to Skot much, as we were at far ends of the table.
Matt Kamp is SVP at Influence & Co, a content marketing agency that specializes in creating engaging content that fuels companies’ content marketing efforts and positions their key employees as influencers in their industries. I’d like to see if we can work together next year.

Robocars, Elon, and More This Year in the Future of Cars
New Post has been published on http://www.1701host.com/cloud-hosting/robocars-elon-and-more-this-year-in-the-future-of-cars/
Robocars, Elon, and More This Year in the Future of Cars
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Well, it’s been a year in transportation. There were self-driving cars and electric trucks. There was the old guard of tech—now-ancient companies like Uber and Lyft—and new upstarts, like the scooter mavens at Bird and Lime. Lots of people got in trouble. Some emerged victorious. CEOs said outrageous and surprising things. We got to go and see very cool places: control rooms, helicopters, Senegal, Detroit.
So in honor of 2018, this week we’ve got a roundup of roundups—a meta-roundup, if you will. Here you will find some of our favorite stories we’ve written in 2018. You’ll find some usual suspects, like Elon Musk and Dara Khosrowshahi. And also some more surprising characters: mathematicians willing to chat airplane peeing, members of the British Royal Air Force, a bunch of transportation planners. It’s been exciting. It’s been a year. Let’s get you caught up.
Headlines
Our favorite stories that you might have missed from WIRED this year
This tale begins as British pilots sweep the western coast of France for German submarines. And it ends up in 2018, with a deep look into why it’s so hard for humans to work with machines—and what that means for self-driving car testing.
Lines for bathrooms inside airplanes are annoying. Could urinals be the answer? We called up some mathematicians to find out.
Want to make streets safer? Don’t wait for self-driving cars. Redesign them.
Speaking of street redesigns: Maybe if we build our roads for scooters instead of banning them, we’ll make cities a better place to be.
Also in scooters this year: At first, everyone decided that they were bad because they were only for tech bros. But a survey completed this summer found that women and middle- to lower-income urban dwellers had positive perceptions of the scoots, more than their richer, maler peers.
Indiana Jones, eat your heart out. These Belgian archaeologists used airplanes, lidar, aerial photography, and sensors to uncover forgotten battlefields from World War I.
Senior writer Jack Stewart takes the Tesla Model 3 on a trip between LA and Palm Springs, and sort of adores it. Read his detailed review.
WIRED contributor Eric Adams goes adventuring across Senegal with the Diplomatic Courier Service, the US State Department’s very own interoffice mailmen for sensitive documents.
Ack! Here’s how pilots pull this off:
“Hey, buddy, this doesn’t work!” Musk shouted at the engineer, according to someone who heard the conversation. “Did you do this?”
The engineer was taken aback. He had never met Musk before. Musk didn’t even know the engineer’s name. The young man wasn’t certain what, exactly, Musk was asking him, or why he sounded so angry.
“You mean, program the robot?” the engineer said. “Or design that tool?”
“Did you fucking do this?” Musk asked him.
“I’m not sure what you’re referring to?” the engineer replied apologetically.
“You’re a fucking idiot!” Musk shouted back. “Get the fuck out and don’t come back!”
Tom Cruise Transportation-Adjacent Content of the Year
Jack and WIRED’s intrepid video team flew to Texas to learn how Tom Cruise does helicopter stunts. Everyone survived, mostly because we weren’t allowed to recreate the gnarliest Cruise movies.
Stat of the Year
26,000,000
The number of scooter- and bike-share rides that Lime users have taken since the company launched 18 months ago, according to a year-end report.

Jalopnik combs through court documents to tell the disturbing story of the Goodyear G159, an RV tire now linked to multiple fatalities.
