I went to The Sphere last night, thanks to Zendesk. Saw "Postcards From Earth," an hour-ish long film about the early days of our planet and a futuristic interpretation of how humanity left it so Mother Earth could heal. The visuals and sensory experience in the venue was amazing.

@toddbishop.bsky.social quipped that Steve Ballmer would have said Yahoo would be his biggest regret. Ballmer asked, "what's wrong with Yahoo? If we bought Yahoo, we'd make a lot of money. If we didn't buy Yahoo, we would have saved a lot of money."

Steve Ballmer says the one thing he regrets the most is not stopping Project Cairo 3-4 years earlier. It was something that everyone knew but no one admitted, he explained.
