Question: I’ve been presented an opportunity to go back to several places in China I visited in the past–namely Beijing, Xi’an, Yangshou and Shanghai. Probably three weeks.
I will also spend a week in South Korea with old friends, where I lived in 1993-94.
Is this a trip you, the readers of Ian’s site, would be interested in?
Putin recently said, “I agree in principle in a cease-fire.”
That’s a brilliant PR and propaganda coup. It also has a very pragmatic, realistic purpose. He said this, damn well knowing Zhelensky and the Ukrainians and the Brits and the US have so many hurdles to get through until they can achieve a cease-fire that what Putin has ultimately done is give the Russian army carte blnache to continue capturing key territory for as long as it takes for the West to get its act together or the Ukrainian army collapses, whichever comes first. My money is on a mid-summer collapse.

Eight years ago Lance Ulanoff had a problem. William Shatner could not find him on Mastodon.
His distress is understandable, relatable even. Who wouldn’t want to be found by Captain Kirk himself! The way he dealt with that feeling of distress, however, was something different. He came to the conclusion that because Captain Kirk could not find him, Mastodon can’t survive.
You see, Lance Ulanoff, like most journalists writing about technology, understands tech. Like, really understands it. As an award-winning tech journalist and former Editor in Chief at PCMag-dot-com he knows the ins and outs of all corporate tech stacks. As I write this, the four latest pieces of his in TechRadar are pushing Microsoft hype like there is no tomorrow. All four published within the last two days.
That is the level of journalistic excellence and rate of creative output I know I could never even dream to attain.
