@jimwagmn @HeyBirt Hmmm. Not sure on the context and the second character looks a bit ambiguous (me or na), but it seems most certainly to be "kana", so denoting the kana alphabets for some reason? "kame" would be turtle, so yeah, I doubt that'd fit whatever the context is. That help at all?

@RepFreiberg Wayzata did this as our kids were entering HS. Super helpful, the research is good on this.

@LogitechG Is it normal to not hear back from support for over a week? I've got an open case about a defective mouse, sent an image of the mouse over a week ago, and haven't heard anything since then.

@skolteacher @MarkJWestpfahl Ha! I have been pretty inactive on Twitter lately so I’m sure my tweets aren’t super visible. :)

I will never hate the Eagles again.

A few years ago, a stranger ahead of me in the line at Subway paid for my sub without even telling me. The guy working the register said, "Yeah, he does that all the time. That's Matt Blair, by the way." Rest in peace, my friend. You were a class act. #MattBlair

@RepFreiberg Who knew that running for office was so good for your health! Nice work!

[Mike Smart @MikeSmart]

@jimwagmn @adafruit Yes, awesome, thanks!

BREAKING NEWS: NFL no longer requiring #Vikings receivers to wear masks and socially distance to protect against catching Covid. After watching film of the first 3 games, they've determined they can't catch anything. #NFL #COVID19

@RepFreiberg Great, if something looks off, just flip your phone upside down.

[Mike Smart @MikeSmart]

How are we doing putting up your lawn signs @RepFreiberg? I feel like something might be a bit off?

[Mike Smart @MikeSmart]

@agileschools @skolteacher @wilsandrea That's impressive, yes! We keep stumbling into active pockets and educators familiar with it, but not a whole district. That's special. :)

[Mike Smart @MikeSmart]

@agileschools @skolteacher @wilsandrea For students, simple scrum techniques (making work visible) can make a huge difference, as students aren't generally taught any sort of effective work management techniques other than "make a list of things to do".
