We went to the Glow Holiday Festival at the Minnesota State Fair tonight. Fun time but we think the lights would look cooler with snow on the ground.

Commenting and Reactions added to Link Blog
I’ve been toying with the idea of having commenting on my Link Blog. I ran across Hyvor Talk and just set it up to give it a try. It has a really nice interface and looks great. I like the simple reaction options too. Also, it has privacy features and isn’t funded by hidden ads. I had previously tried Commento but it was a big lacking in some of the more advanced features. I’m curious to see how Hyvor works out.

"Ted Lasso of newsletters"
CJ Chilvers shared a shout out to The Weekly Thing in his newsletter this week:
I love The Weekly Thing by Jamie Thingelstad. Itβs the Ted Lasso of newsletters. I especially like his idea for a Tesla date night. All I need now is the Tesla! Santa?
βTed Lasso of newsletters" is some super high praise! π€©
I’m going to get that framed for the wall. π
Family movie night! We watched Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey on Netflix. Great story and everyone enjoyed it! πΏ
Today we announced that Data Masons is becoming part of SPS Commerce! This is a great combination and Iβm looking forward to all we will do together.
The news was also shared on the NASDAQ MarketSite in Times Square!
Facebook’s opposition to Apple’s privacy enhancements on their platform is a strong positive signal. The fact they are so worried about it validates that these actions must be meaningful in the fight against surveillance.
Dancing on the Pedals
Today I did my fourth day in a row on my Peloton bike. I can tell that the workouts Iβve been putting in over the last months are having a big impact. A few months ago I would have been spent after consecutive days like this, but today I felt invigorated. You get this feeling like you are Dancing on the Pedals when you climb out of the saddle. It is fun and I havenβt felt that in a very long time. Recovering and going again, repeat. Feel good power in my legs. Gaining some confidence around riding a Century next summer for the first time in a decade plus! Good stuff. #FitByFifty
