Where holiday cookies go to die! It’s a little disheartening to see so many cookies in the break room on the Monday you come back to work.

Manufacturer: Do not put this device on the open Internet. Me: That makes perfect sense. Manufacturer: Do not put this device on your corporate network. Me: Ok... ok ok ok. Why...

Who asked for a phone this thin? Honestly, I'd take a phone that's 20% thicker if it meant I got an extra day of charge.

It began with a simple observation from my partner: "One of the front porch lights is out." Six hours later - after rewiring, only two trips to the hardware store, careful bulb selection, and even more rewiring - it turned into a full-day project. Quite a long Sunday.

Tesla's (TSLA) quarter-over-quarter market dominance is steadily declining. While they remain the leader in the EV space, their share is being eroded as competitors gain ground. Notably, GM and Ford are showing consistent growth, whereas Toyota is still struggling to define a clear EV strategy.

In AV sales, authentic connections beat scripted perfection. I tried to keep things light—sometimes even humorous—and never took myself too seriously, always mindful of the context. My goal was to be memorable in a positive way and respectful of wherever someone was on their AV journey.

I’ll admit that Bluesky is actually a little boring. I can jump on , read a bunch of posts of people I follow, catch up, and then close the app for hours at a time. It’s so unlike where we are now with so many other social media platforms. Thay simply want to consume my time.

Exactly! Specializing in spatial and immersive audio solutions for transformational spaces is where the real impact happens and where it truly shines. SI audio in basic conference rooms - that might be a bit of a stretch, but there's plenty of potential in the right environments! #AVinTheAM

www.cnn.com/2024/12/27/e... Of the ten movies, four are "original" (if you can call a Michael Jackson biopic "original"). I see the formula is to dust off vintage properties in 2025. Live-action How To Train Your Dragon? What a brave movie choice, Comcast. 🙄

In an on-site meeting a month ago, a co-worker asked a leading AV hardware manufacturer, "What are you doing with AI?" Their response was spot on: "We're not doing much. We don't believe we can contribute meaningfully to the conversation beyond a few specific areas." ✅ Perfect Answer
