LinkedIn Games
I somehow missed this news last month. LinkedIn is testing daily games. I used to think this was silly with the New York Times, but games like Wordle, and all-the-things from Zach Gage, are so delightful. I see this working well.

Finity delights
Finity is the perfect little game. Myke Hurley recommended it recently on a podcast and I gave it a try. It has a great mix of fun puzzle, with a gradual challenge curve, and makes a simple concept feel truly delightful. I’ve been turning to it more than Reddit

Leaders leading
Leadership is hard. Few do it well, and the ones the figure it out are a joy to watch. You see their humble strength, mixed with care for others, and are excited to see where things are going to go. In my experience great leaders don’t want it. They
People
People are wonderful and complicated. As I grow older (I seem to be talking a lot about my age recently, I’m really not that old) I’m seeing less black and white in the motives and actions of others. We have so much diversity of background, the history that

Apple Notes Drawing
While at the Apple store I was re-inspired to try the tap-to-wake function on an iPad with the Apple Pencil. It’s pretty slick. In an instant you’re in a new Apple Notes sketching away. I tested the idea out today with an idea I had
On defense of (some) meetings
