Happy to answer any questions. :)

Between the heat emergency warnings and the severe thunderstorm was a brief moment of bee peeping.

We’re looking to hire a SME for Zoom and Webex.

What’s a SME? Subject Matter Expert.

What would you be doing?

Zoom is the operating system of the world. How can we use Zoom to its fullest extend and do things beyond what Zoom itself can offer?
Webex is launching a new Events platform. Become our expert and let’s make it sing!

You’ll be working with our excellent Product team to use these platforms to their fullest and push the limits of what they can do to delight our customers and challenge what’s possible. And make sure we’re on top of changes to those platforms. That’s a great thing about Intellor. You can learn and grow and build awesome things and know at the end of the day you made something very cool happen.

Does this sound exciting? (It did to me!) This used to be my job. Now I’m doing so much more! Come work with me! We have a great team. Got questions? Let’s talk!

(Not all yours days will look as crazy as my desk. But when you’re bug hunting across devices and platforms and need to build your own testing lab, you do what you need to.)

When I have to return to the office, I may have some demands.

Sunday Soother: Do you love from belief, or from fear?

I believe you can start that creative project. I believe you can make that move. I believe you can ask for that need to be met, to set that boundary, to have that hard conversation. I believe you can climb that mountain, walk that path, swim that ocean. You can do this. You were made for this. I believe in you and your capacity to do the thing. Now let’s get going.

I love this entire idea about focusing on positivity of new pursuits and life changes. I’m as guilty as the next person at finding all the cautionary tales and warnings about failure.

What, instead, if we shifted into loving from fear, into loving from belief?

I will try to love from belief rather than fear more often. And try to identify when I’m loving from fear instead of belief. The feedback loop of positivity can get kickstarted just like a fear loop.

The ability to pause an app for the day is an Android feature I make good use of when they become too chatty.

Northern Mockingbird.

This bird has been visiting my yard on and off for the past few months. But I had no idea what it was.

Today, it finally got close enough and stayed for me to get a decent picture of it. Then Merlin’s Bird ID helped me out.

The second treat today was seeing a pile of birdseed in the corner of a local parking lot. There must have been 40 sparrows all feasting upon this bounty. With more coming all the time. They just kept coming.

This has to be intentional. I’ll look in the future now that I know.

Today’s bird treat was seeing an entire flock of Red winged blackbirds at Brookside Gardens today. I’ve seen one of two sometimes as they’re on the hunt for food near the ponds. But today there were a dozen in a field pecking happily away at the ground.

Walking into Chick Fil-a tonight, my wife and I find our table and set her phone on the number. This triggers the app to alert the staff we are there and to deliver our food.

The guy brings our food, looks at my wife asking, *Annie… pause and friend?

Made my night. 🤭

I did check with my wife of 11 years whether we were friends. She said yes. Best friends.

Work: You’re doing the jobs of two people. Which part would you like to keep and we will hire for the other part?

Also work: We had someone take a leave of absence. Can you take on this massive project that this person was doing fulltime?

Know anyone in the Gaithersburg/Rockville, MD area (DC suburb) that would love to administer and evangelize Webex and Zoom for an events company?

My job has outgrown me and I need reinforcements. We’re doing cool stuff. Who are we? www.intellor.com

Not bad, Oregon

Waited for the sun to go down then took the longer version of the walk nobody knows about with my wife today.

Had a wonderful chat about dreams, love, support and the idea of Enough.

I just watched Tenet.

What a fun ride through time and events.

Working my way through the Jerry Bruckheimer Criminal Justice Cinematic Universe.

I do not need a Kindle Oasis. I do not need a Kindle Oasis. I do not need a Kindle Oasis…

I’m leaving for my first trip out of the area since 2019 tomorrow. How many clothes do I need? What should I entertain myself with? How does travel even work anymore?!

Taking the Amtrak for the first time (in years) to NYC for a long weekend. Going to MOMA, Guggenheim and Botanical Gardens.

Rather than aiming for balance, we should aim for harmony. All the areas of our life are like voices in a choir. We need to make sure as they sound together they harmonize. Sounding in harmony takes work, but when you get it right it’s a beautiful thing.Source: Principles for Smarter Work - Adam Tervort - Thoughts on Work / Life Balance

I love this.

Search Party is an incredible ride. Just finished our multi-day binge of all four Seasons of show which is (in order) a Mystery, Legal Drama, Psychological Drama.

Superb.

📺 Search Party on HBO

It’s… Hard to describe. It’s a wild ride of a show. My wife heard about it from the My Favorite Murder podcast.

I hope Stitcher never sends Roman Mars the jingle. Listening to him sing the jingle at the end of 99% Invisible is like waiting for the end credit scene after a movie.

🍿 Love Death + Robots

I may have accidentally watched all of the new episodes in Netflix and greatly enjoyed them all. I love the short scifi story format.

🍿 Halfway through Anon on Netflix as well. I like Clive Owen. And am enjoying the premise.

📚 Finished Lee Child’s Tripwire.

And right on time Running Blind (by Lee Child) has shown up from the library.
