In true George, Dan and Carly fashion, things get started with the smell of Scholastic book fairs and taxi cabs (aka Carly’s new favorite adjective: redolent), before diving in to data. The three get into how the new Apple updates will impact data collection, privacy, and the customization of different tools, and what this means for both companies and consumers. Data leads to NFTs, the Most Passionate Percentile, and marketing theatre. Dan makes a sandwich.

Three Things
Dan
- Loving: Comic Sans Criminal, a website that outlines criminal acts of Comic Sans use and is a hilarious way to spend some time online. Click on the link now!
- Bragging: About the newest version of his favorite classic breakfast sandwich: English muffin, over medium egg, thin sliced sharp cheddar, now with Beyond Breakfast Sausage
- Feeling: Great about his limited skills in the kitchen with Snacking Cakes by Yossi Arefi, cakes that just need one bowl! (Her NYT potato roll recipe here,too)
Carly
- Listening: To Wondery’s The Apology Line podcast, the pretty wild story of how Allan Bridge’s art project turned into a full on obsession. Part true crime, part social experiment
- Listening pt 2: Land of Giants is back with a new season and this time it’s all about Google
- Watching: Netflix’s I Care A Lot (on Amazon in Canada) and swooning over Rosamund Pike’s captivating portrayal of a true villain
George
- Quoting: Oscar Wilde, “A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament. Its beauty comes from the fact that the author is what he is. It has nothing to to do with the fact that other people want what they want. Indeed, the moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist, and becomes a dull or an amusing craftsman, an honest or a dishonest tradesman”
- Reading: Richard Russell’s book Liberation Through Hearing, the book we’re currently reading in the E&A hang. There’s still time to join us!
- Mastering: Roam Research to organize his thoughts and his work. Dan has feelings about it, do you?
