There are Mondays, then there are MONDAYS!

I was pleasantly surprised by how the Entrepreneurs and Innovators Council unfolded at our Dallas Improving office.

Jeannie Lewis brought back the wonderful Marie Diaz to speak with the group about how our behavior influences our results.

If you’re seeking opportunities to connect with like-minded people in the technology space, consider joining a meetup at an Improving office.

We host these groups as part of our support of the Conscious Capitalism movement.

Oh, wow!

My day just flew by today. Late post = productive work

I finally got my WFO set-up where I want it. I’m pleased to say the least.

Likewise, I enjoy having a semi-permanent spot in our Dallas Improving office. The goal was to make the hotelling arrangement flexible for both me and a colleague who may use the space when I’m working elsewhere.

Oh, yes, the photo below.

I’ve been co-authoring Python scripts using AI to help solve a problem for my client. In less than a day, I was able to create three duplicate data comparison functions and associated outputs.
