Very fun time playing in virtual reality at REM5VR today. Space Pirate and Elven Assassin still favorites.

It was great to see Mason Jennings at the Dakota tonight. The vibe of the Dakota is perfect for him. I left thinking it would be amazing if he did a residency there for a couple months.

It seems we were at a stoplight behind a Dungeon Master. 😎

I got a Magic Keyboard to pair with the Apple Vision Pro. I want to use the Vision Pro for productivity and typing is a must. I hooked it up (it is charging in the picture) and I was surprised to see this typing display that floats above the keyboard. it also knew which keyboard I was using?

I got to attend the 2024 Minneapolis Downtown Council annual meeting today at the Armory. Our own Karin Lucas chairs the board and addressed the crowd. Amelia Santaniello emceed the event, with special appearances from Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

There were many, many statistics shared about all the great things going on in downtown. It did seem like there was a lot of development going on. There is also a strong focus on safety and law enforcement. It was cool to see that SPS Commerce is the 9th largest employer with 1,465 people, up one spot from 2023 when we were 10th with 1,346.

Ordered a Magic Keyboard to pair with the Apple Vision Pro so I can dive into more of the productivity use cases.

You can drink a coffee while using the Vision Pro, but you may need to tip your head back so the coffee mug doesn’t get blocked by the Vision Pro.
