Read time: 1 minute, 370 words. In 2017, I traveled to Selma with Congressman John Lewis. Over breakfast at the hotel, I asked if I could record him reading a speech. Maybe an album about Selma. Nothing concrete. We found an empty ballroom. I stacked chairs around him to dampen the sound and block the noise from the kitchen. He read. The recording sat on my voice recorder for years. In 2020, I helped him write his final memoir. Yesterday was the late congressman's birthday. I released a lo-fi remix of "We Shall Overcome" featuring that speech I recorded back in Selma. I didn't know then what it would become. Record your ideas. The time will come. Seven Point Sunday - February 22 Kevin Kelly.

Read time: 1 minute, 377 words. For most of my career, I rarely posted on social media. When I worked in finance, my employer discouraged it. That changed in June 2024, after I attended the Kit.com conference in Boise (and I no longer worked in banking). I learned that growth comes from sharing knowledge and being useful.(Unless you're Beyoncé or Stef Curry who can post whatever they want...) In 2025, I showed up: LinkedIn = 365 posts Facebook > 400 posts Threads > 700 posts Total: >2k posts...
