Thanks to the collision of life hacking and AI we are living through The Great Clusterhack, and LinkedIn is ground zero. But when it comes to presenting there is no Haynes Manual, and I will not hack a keynote.

Happy 2025 my friends! Here`s a great resolution for the new year. If you value something, pay for it. I use Wikipedia A LOT, and though it has some issues on balance it`s hugely valuable to me. I am a firm believer that if you value something you should pay for it, because the truth is NOTHING is free.
4.4 billion people used Wikipedia last year, but only 2% actually donated to its upkeep. You don`t have to break the bank to support it - even the smallest donation makes a difference. So if you use Wikipedia, bung them a quid/buck/dirham/euro etc. And join the ELITE ๐ฅ๐

Astonishing chart from @axios showing the estimated worth of Trump`s cabinet. According to their research, together with the nonprofit Americans for Tax Fairness, Trump`s projected Cabinet is worth at least $10 billion. And that could be an underestimate!
"With Musk, Ramaswamy and other wealthy appointees included, the top of the Trump administration`s net worth is likely higher than the GDP of hundreds of countries, including Finland, Chile and New Zealand."
Wow.๐ฎ

Frank has perfectly captured how I`ve been feeling for the last couple of months. Heartfelt thanks to all the medics who have got me through, all my fam and friends who have looked after me so well, and everyone who`s sent love and best wishes. Sorry I`ve been so quiet - but I`m back now. So watch out!
There is nothing like a Sicilian breakfast in the sunshine by the pool! I know itโs an outrageous plateful but I couldnโt resist it. Fabulous Almond granita โ some of the best almonds in the world are grown on the island and itโs a very typical breakfast here on the coast. Granita is usually eaten with Brioscia con tuppo, a kind of Sicilian brioche, but I went with a Graffa, a traditional Sicilian doughnut, much lighter than the US version and I think more buttery. Every familyโs nonna seems to have a slightly different recipe and theyโre handed down the generations.
You might think that a croissant has snuck in there, but actually thatโs a cornetto. the Sicilian version is shaped liked a horn rather than a crescent and it comes either filled with all sorts of delicious stuff - cornetti ripieni โ or unfilled like this one, cornetto semplice, or โvuotoโ(empty). Finally, no Sicilian breakfast could be complete without the iconic Cannoli, filled with a sweetened ricotta. A tip I was once given was to look for quality Cannoli by the bubbles on the shells.
Che la festa cominci! Let the games begin! ๐๐๐

So happy to be back on the beautiful island of Sicily, the largest in the Mediterranean, but itโs sobering to find this in my hotel room. The reality is that Sicily is in a water crisis, with only 150mm of rain falling here in the last 6 months of 2023, the island is in a state of emergency. Farmers here have lost more than EUR 1billion, and the consequences for people and non-human species if the shortage continues could be catastrophic. If you are coming here then please be mindful of the water you use. Sicily is a wonderful destination and so welcoming to tourists and travellers but we canโt use its resources at the expense of those who call it home.

Sharing these wonderful shots taken yesterday of my no.1 daughter Mads @world_of_mka and my no.1 son-in-law Lee @leejohngibbs during an incredible day at Duxford courtesy of @aerialcollectiveduxford As part of their rehearsals for the 80th anniversary of D-Day @aerialcollectiveduxford took them on flight of a lifetime on, and with, warbirds that were all veterans. Mads also delivered the handpainted jackets she`d completed for the crew of Placid Lassie, which was pulling gliders over France on D-Day. An unforgettable experience for them both, and some epic photos. Give all of them a follow, and if you`re in the market for a handpainted jacket then search for HaybagMaddie where you can see more of Mads` amazing commissions and Lee`s brilliant photography. And if you have anyone in your life who would love a flight in a veteran warbird then you know who to call...

Is there anything more beautiful than the sight of a beer on a sunny day overlooking the sea, when you`ve walked 10 miles? Yes. Drinking it. ๐บ

My latest article for the Futurejacking blog explains why, thanks to the collision of life hacking and gen AI, we are all now living through The Great Clusterhack, and LinkedIn is ground zero. If you really feel the need to let ChatGPT spout motivational quotes at you, or organise your inbox then you do you. But when it comes to keynoting and presenting there are no hacks, and no Haynes Manual. Chat-GPT won`t make you a great communicator, but Alan Alda and I have 3 pieces of advice that might.

Happy #internationalteaday folks! I`ve got a bit of a weakness for interesting teas and love collecting them on my travels - BTW if you`re in the market for some Oolong then the Generic Shop at Beijing Airport is incredibly good value. But here in the UK my tea-home is Fortnums where the Jasmine Dragon Pearls are a bit of an extravagance, but very worthwhile, and condoned by @roger_adamson as long as I buy him some Toffolossus biscuits too. In honour of Tea Day here`s pics of the latest Fortnums haul ready for my trusty Japanese blue Tenshi teapot and glass teacup and saucer, plus a couple of tea memories: Air China`s business class tea menu with its lyrical descriptions of tea, and a not-quite-so-lyrical tea offering from T2 Tea in Suntec, Singapore. Dear Readers, I passed on that one... Enjoy your tea everyone!
