I think the reason ASMR doesn’t work with me is because I low-key expect to go full-on Mr Robot. And then nothing actually happens.
Well, that’s some good news for today!

Have you heard about GAFAs?
In France, business-related publishers refer to Google-Apple-Facebook-Amazon as a single group. And because the french love acronyms, they called it 'GAFA's.
Beyond the sheer horror of the acronym, I don't think it's fair to associate these companies together.
- Apple makes money off products
- Facebook makes money off ads (i.e. off the user)
- Amazon harvests a lot of data but offers products/services (B2C/B2B)
- Google (similarly to both FB and Amazon) has B2B/B2C components in addition to the ads.
Out of all of these, Apple is the only one I can think of with Privacy at heart. This was recently reiterated last week when Tim Cook was interviewed by Kara Swisher on MSNBC/Recode:
The truth is we could make a ton of money if we monetized our customer. If our customer was our product, we could make a ton of money. We’ve elected not to do that. Because we don’t ... our products are iPhones and iPads and Macs and HomePods and the Watch, etc., and if we can convince you to buy one, we’ll make a little bit of money, right? But you are not our product.
I really don’t like this acronym. These companies couldn’t be more different.
I haven’t made a lot of progress on my personal creative projects lately (mainly uploading the last few travel vlogs + making new music mixes).
However, in the meantime, I’ve retroactively uploaded previous travel Vlogs on Youtube:

How is it already April?!
It’s April. Looking back on the beginning of the year, I’ve been going non stop, moving from the French Riviera over to Dublin, finding ourselves a flat, working on two new fast-paced projects, and planning the rest of the year.
Tonight’s therapy comes from well… the Therapy EP by the always soothing Vancouver Sleep Clinic!

Pasted a Youtube link in my @DayOneApp and it formated correctly once I published the entry in my journal. Mind Blown! :)

Last week I mentioned how excited I am to be working a bit more with startups. To my surprise, there’s been some good response to this, and I’m left wondering whether I should talk more about #FreelanceLife.
Is that something you’d like to hear about?
Over the weekend, we took a nice little walk in Phoenix Park in Dublin.
In the middle of the park we found a colony of about 30 or 40 dear, just walking around.
It was beautiful! #MicroMonday #WeekendShots
Liam launched a Newsletter!
My friend @LiamBoogar recently launched a newsletter where he tackles Branding, France, Technology, and a lot more — all through his personal and opinionated point of view.
The latest issue is really solid, and talks about Labor Laws in France and the labour market in the US. Here’s a solid gem that struck me:
”Even in the Silicon Valley, where great benefits, remote work & “unlimited vacation” are advertised on every /careers page, the reality is that “unlimited vacation” doesn’t work in a culture where taking any time off is seen as lazy.”
