Artemis, Hypercars, and Unreasonable Hospitality
Dear Listener,
We open Episode 190 in exactly the right place for this show: First Contact
Day. We dig into the Artemis mission, the joy of watching NASA head back
around the moon, the strange product placement orbiting the mission, and the
way Jim Lovell still looms over every serious moon conversation. We also spend
some time reflecting on what it means to be the Columbia generation instead of
the Challenger generation, and why launches still feel like something worth
holding your breath for.
From there we take a wonderfully abrupt turn to Holy Week in the Chicago
suburbs, where Henry gets his wish to visit a Ferrari dealership and we marvel
at Koenigseggs, Paganis, a Ford GT, and a deeply impractical Plymouth Prowler.
That detour carries us into racing movies, the impossibility of test-driving a
hypercar, and the realization that some cars exist less as transportation and
more as industrial art.
We close with William Guidara's Unreasonable Hospitality and a long
conversation about what great customer experience actually looks like outside a
luxury restaurant. Disney Cruise Line, plumbers, roofers, and API design all
get pulled into the argument before we wrap with a quick burst of AI enthusiasm
over Google's Gemma 4, Edge Gallery on iPhone, and the possibility that fast
local models may finally give Apple a real path toward useful on-device
intelligence.
Thanks for listening,
Stan Lemon & Jon Kohlmeier
P.S. This week's word count is, Jon: 2,621 (23.2%) and Stan: 8,684 (76.8%).
