We have a growing, thriving technology community in the Twin Cities and Minnebar is an integral part of that community! Iβve been lucky to be involved with this organization since the beginning and love that SPS Commerce is a terabyte sponsor!
Good Session 0 at Minnebar 14 with a wake-up call from Sharon Kennedy Vickers on the issues that come from a lack of diversity in technology, and what we can do to improve as an ecosystem!

Happy Birthday to Tammy, my lovely co-pilot in this awesome journey of life! ππ
I took the day off for Tammyβs birthday and we rented a U-Haul to get a bunch of post-move errands done. ππ»
Used the Scosche Rhythm+ heart rate monitor for first time today. I liked it on the forearm versus around the chest, and it seemed as accurate as the electrical versions. It does get very sweaty. Happy with it on initial run. ππ»
Time to relax and enjoy a fire. π₯
Ready to do some Flat Top Grilling! ππ₯
First run on the flat top was a success, but will definitely require a few runs to get the hang of it. π₯ππ»

We had a family debate that Nutella from Europe wasnβt as sweet as what we get in the United States. I brought a jar of Nutella back and we did a blind taste test. Nobody could tell the difference, they tasted identical. π
Also watched Arctic on flight. Liked it a lot. Almost no dialogue, but that doesnβt take anything away. π₯Άπ¬βοΈ
I love the messages the kids leave for me on the chalkboard when I come home from trips! β€οΈ
