Join the  Columbus Product Club  on Wed, May 12, 2021 as I moderate a panel discussion with  Derek DeHart ,  Alex Annarino  and  Matthew Abbitt  on their experience with customer interviews. We'll discuss frequency, recruiting, location, preparation, who participates, and some of the questions our panel use, and what they have learned. Register on Meetup.com

Happy 3rd Sunday of Advent! Today is Gaudete Sunday.  Gaudete is the Latin word for “Rejoice.”  Advent is a time for preparing for Jesus, and the theme is a need for penitence. Today is different, and the readings emphasize the joyous anticipation of the Lord's coming.

Taking Flight! Master the DISC Styles to Transform Your Career, Your Relationships…Your Life by Merrick Rosenberg and Daniel Silvert is a good overview of the DISC Behaviors. It assigns a bird to each DISC style to make them easy to remember. 

One of the fun parts of a smart home is thinking of new ideas to simplify things. I created the following list of smart home conveniences and automations we have set up in our house using Samsung SmartThings and Alexa. Hopefully, sharing my list will give someone else an idea for their home. I plan to add to this list over time and Iwrote a Smart Home Products article about the hardware that enables this list.
