- Apple once again innovating with the next iteration of the AirPods Max.
- Putting politics to one side, this is a good example of @AndrewYang building community: (1) a clear campaign, (2) simple way to participate, (3) clear recognition, (4) direct link to broader mission, and (5) building belonging in participants. It mobilizes a crowd effectively.For my #pledgeforHUMANITY I spent time sorting old sneakers. My coach is collecting 42,195 pairs for his native country, Zimbabwe. America gave him opportunities he didn’t have. Lets show that @AndrewYang and the #YangGang are not just great for America, but for the world! 1/
- People often ask me to share my slides. I usually don't. A good presentation is 90% speaker, 10% slides. Most of my slides have a single picture, sentence, or diagram. They make no sense without me waffling in the background. Slides alone lose all context. Am I being a grouch?
- My @Forbes piece on how technology is impacting artists. Ft. interview with @mikeshinoda from @linkinpark - jono.blog/4
- I cannot believe it. I just called the police to report my neighbor trying to attach a jet engine to a deer. People will do anything to make a quick buck.
- Today @ericabrescia and I celebrate 15 years of blissful marriage… …and it really, genuinely is blissful…not just hacky romantic ramblings on an anniversary. ❤️ We are not just hopelessly in love…but are best friends who laugh together…champion and challenge each
- Today, 14 years ago, @ericabrescia and I got married. We feel so blessed to not just have a marriage filled with unconditional love and affection, but to be a real team sharing the journey together. I love you, Erica. 10/10. Marriage is great, would recommend.
- I just noticed that on Spinal Tap @IMDB page, the number of stars goes to 11. Class act, IMDB, class act.
- Pro tip: don't invite me to connect to you on LinkedIn, then when I accept, spam me with your marketing messages. Accepting a connection is *not* opting in to your marketing list, it is creating a relationship. If you do this you will professionally infuriate people.
- 13 years ago, @ericabrescia and I got married. We have been annoyingly chipper ever since. Our mantra is 'Team Bacon'. As we have created a family, grown our careers, and pursued new things, we have always done it together. Erica, I love you, and thanks for being so amazeballs.
- Everyone wants to know what kind of swag is most impactful...but that is only one side of the coin... There is another kind of engagement for your community members, teams, and others that *really zones in* on what most human beings crave...
