• As a paying customer of Spotify, it appears this doesn’t stop them from handing quite a bit of my personal data off to Facebook. Have to admit. I get a tad annoyed when I pay for things yet still have personal information data-minded the sh*t out of and then given away to a privacy invading Advertising and Analytics company like Facebook.

• (Fri 8th May, 10:14 pm NZST) Uneasy that I’ve independently arrived at a forecast that aligns with many financial commentators. Traditionally in the past, it often indicates my crystal ball is wrong. Thats being the case, we may very well see the S&P500 Sky rocket tomorrow morning contrary to common wisdom at the release of a horrible employment situation / jobs report tomorrow, in which case it will be confirmation that the financial markets have completely decoupled from fundamentals, distorted by excess liquidity and quantitative easing.
