Client work lined up for today and some product work on DailyMuse. It’s been neglected in the last few weeks but I’m hoping to give it more time over the next few months.
“Hello there beautiful listener.” - Best podcast intro ever.
Instagram business accounts require a Facebook page. Bizarre requirement. That’s the price of being owned by Facebook I guess.
What a day. I’m mentally exhausted.
I forgot how bloody great Muse are.
New LinkedIn design would be nice if it did away with those loading progress bars and spinners.
Coffee & Code
The blogroll has been chirping about coffee shops. First it was Future Lawyer:
First, some of us refuse to pay 3 to 5 dollars for a cup of coffee, so we don't spend a lot of time in Starbucks. But, we do have lunch at Panera Bread, and we don't use the public WiFi there either. At least, we don't use it without first tunneling through a VPN.

Then Cultural Offering.
I freely admit that I dislike Starbucks. On the few of occasions I have been in the chain - airports, a meeting or two, and when an employee needed to throw up (seemed the perfect spot) - I found myself wanting to tell the students to try the library and the adults to try a tie and a home office.

I like Starbucks. It is a convenient and comfortable meeting spot. I ignore the computer users who are tapping away at, no doubt, the next War and Peace. The Americano is a nice watered-down version of their strong coffee. When ordering I still use small, medium, and large rather than their menu lingo. That immediately signals "out of touch" to the staff and thus is desirable.

And yes I also say small, medium or large.
Although I didn't attend Star Wars Celebration, it was clear from many people online that this was the biggest thing to come out of the convention.
The event was the first Star Wars convention since she died last year at age 60, and day after day, collaborators and castmates took the opportunity to pay tribute to her. And somehow, somewhere in the process, an event dedicated to promoting one of the most valuable entertainment properties in the world became something different — an opportunity for fans to say goodbye.
