Stan D’istraction: Banking of Tomorrow, 1969
I came across this video just this morning while I was Facebook stalking Simonez, the mastermind behind the door at Le Bain. Fascinating to watch how 1969 envisioned the future as we live in it today. Ford’s Model T was invented a short hundred years ago, and I can only imagine what we’ll see in another 50 years.
My bets are on Jack Dorsey and Square. I bet 1969 never could have predicted that!
Happy Birthday, Twitter!

I feel like I’ve been tweeting since I was a little kid. I think we all have, and we have our good friend Jack Dorsey to thank for it all! What would we be doing right now, if we don’t have to limit ourselves to just 140 characters at a time. I would have written a book by now!
Anytweet, today, Twitter is celebrating its 5th Birthday, and we wanted to wish Jack and everyone over at the Twitter headquarters a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We tweet you!
xoxo

Don’t Question Stan, Jack Dorsey!
I am SOOOO excited right now for SO many reasons, my Stan D’arlings!
The first one is that, from today on, I’m going to be bringing you deeply fascinating interviews with the people in my life who make the world go round, and the interviews shall be called “Don’t Question Stan, XXX” The XXX being the person interviewed. I know. I know. I love it too.
The second reason I’m beyond myself is because the first in this series of Q&As is my good friend, Jack Dorsey.
The last reason I’m excited is that my martini JUST arrived. So keep reading while I sit back and imbibe. Let the games begin!!!
You, Jack Dorsey, are most infamous for giving the world Twitter. What was your very first visual thought when the idea came to you. What did you see?
I’ve been obsessed with maps and cities since I was very young, always wondering what was going on at various places on the map. I got into programming dispatch software for taxis and emergency vehicles to visualize where they were and what they were doing. Twitter is the missing piece of that work, the citizens and my friends: where were they, and what were they doing? I still see it as a big map full of activity.
