Last week, @carlbaumann & I had the honour of chatting w/ @FintechTvGlobal about the challenges created by #distributedwork at the iconic @NYSE trading floor. Truly humbling experience & testament to all of @panagenda’s hard work, read more: shorturl.at/gvI29 – at Montréal, Québec

Proof of life: still alive and kicking, and so happy for my past life in #lotusnotes helping me with 100+ lines of VB macros in a monster excel sheet today revamping our pricing strategy across 10+ criss-crossing product & services offerings. Missing my designer client though 🥹

I’m wondering if other businesses also struggle with facebook auth for apps. The sudden privacy reviews come with an insane level of scrutiny, nitpicking, and zero support (i.e.chat only) Also starting to see apps removing fb auth - anyone else? #facebooksupport

@CiscoLive what a fantastic event! There is only one question I was hoping to clear up before I return to HQ: do you guys use AI? 🤪

You know you’re in corporate Canada when talking about industry trends is prefaced by “we gotta know where the puck’s going to be in 5 years” 🏒🇨🇦 – at Montréal, Québec

Great attending #NRF2024 last week in NYC to learn about all the innovation in retail. While AI is obv. all the buzz, interesting to see trends around traffic analytics, BLE & RFID tags at stores, smart camera/sentiment analysis software all on quest to understand buyer behavior

I get that I procrastinate from time to time, but getting an overdue reminder for a #LotusNotes 8.5 client upgrade demonstration over 14 years, and 3+ employers later still cracks me up

Absolutely crazy how I ended up working, and doing a new corporate photoshoot at the very same office building (albeit on the roof this time 😎) I’ve worked at for 8 years starting 12+ years ago #NewProfilePic – at Montréal, Québec

Wow for data consumption growth during #Superbowl events over the past years. So much cool information at #WIFINOW Toronto! – at Toronto, Ontario

I just love pulling up real-time metrics when I'm struggling w/ audio in a #MicrosoftTeams meeting. Instead of blaming the speaker, I now see that this meeting room is no good. Time to move back to my seat/switch to my cell hotspot. @panagenda #TrueDEM to the rescue! #DEX #DEM

It’s been a long time since I’ve been as excited about new tech as I currently am for #ChatGPT. Having used it for a few weeks now I’m simply blown away by the cross-industry use cases, and equally weary on the impact on authenticity, education, entry level programmers, etc. – at Montréal, Québec

What the infosec geek in me is most into though is how this #OpenAI” watermarking mechanism works, and how fast until someone figures it out, breaks it, and/or comes out with a way to circumvent it. Super exciting times for cyber security! thealgorithmicbridge.substac… – at Montréal, Québec

@AdamMGrant you talk about positive reinforcement on talent and how self-fulfilling prophecies work: maybe I haven’t yet read all your work but I see so many friends crippled by high appraisals especially at an early age. I would argue that this is a double-edged sword? – at Montréal, Québec
Currently reading: give and take by Adam Grant. C.J.Skender sent a letter to every single student saying “You WILL get through this test: the primary purpose has already been served by preparation - success doesn’t measure a human being, effort does” ❤️ – at Montréal, Québec

Just had a client introduce their director of #cybersecurity and risk on a call like “this is Joe. Joe puts the NO in InNOvation” 😂 (Joe said YES in the end though ☺️) – at Montréal, Québec

Currently reading: “Never Split the Difference” by @fbinegotiator - 50% in in just a couple of hours and this book is amazing. Tons of experience from the field on tactical empathy - so so so recommended. – at Montréal, Québec
