It is Friday 5pm somewhere.....time to log off and enjoy the weekend. In the meantime, enjoy a short but beautifully curated selection of randomness from around the web.




This week
  1. A new podcast that I have been listening to in order to learn more about DevOps isDevOps Cafe Podcast In this interview driven show, John Willis and Damon Edwards take a pragmatic look at the technology, tools, and business developments behind the emerging DevOps movement.
  2. For the horsey crowd, I am off to the Polo this weekend. The Millamolong Polo Club Country Classic April 16 & 17. Last year was awesome and I am looking forward to family fun day on Sunday.
  3. 20 Aussie start ups that you should keep an eye on.
  4. I keep seeing more an more articles on Trackr which seems a very useful and cost effective (ie cheap) way of tracking your stuff like cars and bikes. Of course it could just be that Google knows that I looked at one article and now promotes more articles.
  5. I recently started following Maria Popova on twitter. Great Minds Discuss Ideas; Average Minds Discuss Events; Small Minds Discuss People so said Eleanor Roosevelt.

If you have enjoyed this week's brief but beautifully curated walk through the web, please feel free to share or forward this email.

An exceptional auction house was born in 1744 in the heart of London on New Bond Street. That house built a revered tradition of uniting collectors with word-class works of art and marketing the world’s most cherished possessions. Now, almost three centuries after, Sotheby’s auction house is crumbling. The victims: approximately 250 auctions each year in over 70 categories. 1 “The unprecedented shakeup follows a losing battle with an activist investor, a change in leadership, and a pricey acquisition of an art advisory firm, and it puts the auctioneer in a dicey position just before one of its big sale seasons.
