The really really big issue here right now is supply chain issues. So this is where I am very very admiring of Tim Cook -- the master of supply chain and logistics.

## problems with Ricoh, Fujifilm & these Japanese companies

So it seems the real critical issue here is supply chain issues. For example, I actually wanted to buy a new Fujifilm x100 VI, and also a new Ricoh GR 3HDF ... but the problem is they are all out of stock, all backordered… Even if you want to buy it, you cannot. 

Therefore, the critical issue here is availability. I want to buy it I have the money for it, but I can’t buy it! Super annoying.

## iPhone Pro thoughts

Looks like Apple listen to me, my idea for a “quick draw“ idea… Made available via the new camera control thing in the bottom right corner. It is a good idea because it makes it very very quick and easy and available to quickly quickly quickly take a picture, without delay. All those other strange touch enabled exposure control stuff seems more like a gimmick, because it kind of looks like what a Samsung phone would do… Anyways, better than nothing. And also having it in the bottom right corner is a good idea because these damn iPhones are so big now… And also the ability to just make all of your apps sit at the bottom of your screen is an insanely great idea because most people have pretty small hands, their thumbs cannot reach all the way to the top.

## NEW ERIC KIM APPLE TV+ SERIES: “Mastering the Art of Street Photography”

So I have this pitch idea for Apple TV Apple TV+ ([email protected])-- and the general idea is how can you use an iPhone, iPhone Pro etc.… To travel the world, be like Eric Kim or Henri Cartier-Bresson, and make really awesome photos? 

And also there would be a cool tie in with the iPad Pro… The new M4 one… because I might be the only one I know, the only perhaps influential serious guitar for on the planet who only uses an iPad iPad Pro… I haven’t touched my laptop in about two years?
