Life
Was kinda sick over the weekend but took the opportunity to get some work done on my side project. It was kind of nice to just hole up and write code for the day! Enjoyed my last few days in Lisbon, and then flew to NYC.
Just Say NO to Thankless Emotional Labour t-shirts are still available.
Work
Hectic week, but we sent a new build to the play store and I got to write the release notes!
My talk description is up for Cultivate. Worked on that talk a lot on the plane to NYC and I’m finally feeling excited about it.
Places
Breakfasts at Tartine (love that place), sushi at Bonsai, dinners at the market. Went to the MUDE – Museu do Design e da Moda, which was cool. Stayed at the Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel.
Media
Still (still!) reading A Window Opens, I think I’m not really enjoying it that much. Finished Leadership and Self Deception (so great), and started on First, Break All The Rules.
