In addition to learning that when someone says they have done all they can to solve a problem, and yet when pressed they come up with other things…

  • Based on a recommendation, I watched the first 2 episodes of Upload on Amazon Prime and am stopping there. I am not sure if it was that I don’t think we’d have that kind of technology in 13 years or that I just didn’t like the characters. I now return to binge-watching Star Trek: Voyager.
  • I am having a hard time with LinkedIn Messaging, where you can send messages to people thru the business social media platform. In some cases I get alerts when someone sends me a message, and other times I don’t. As a result, I have missed messages completely and have replied too late. As people tend to send more messages that way instead of email, something will have to give.
  • Congrats to my friend and everyone involved with the launch of BostonExO, a consultancy centered around the ExO framework, which is short for exponential organizations.
  • Apple has a trade-in program that has apparently been around for a while. Remember, this post is about what I learned.
  • World HeadQuarters, a co-working space in Appleton, Wisconsin, is reopening on June 1. In the meantime, members with 24/7 access like myself can go back now. I have already taken a couple of meetings from there, and it’s good to be back.
  • Western Tropic, an artisan card/board game, arrived in the mail this week. It was created by my friend Len Kendall who launched it with a sell-out Kickstarter campaign. The game is in a limited-edition mahogany box, and I can’t wait to open it all up and play it with the family. It looks – and smells – great!

Bye Felicia!
