@JustinNolan Just because a person feels it, doesn't make it a fact. :)
If you abide by the rule of allowing one person in to merge at a time, that feeling will go away over time.

Not sure about self-driving cars. Train them to be polite?

@sportslogosnet I grew up with this logo and its new variation looks great. That said, I also liked the shield with its symbols and purple (nice link to the Lakers' colours).

@CanuckleGame Whoa! National Donut Day? Gotta get some on the way home.

My picks are: 6, 12, 16, but younger me would definitely have double chocolate and Boston cream on my list.

@TokyoPoliceClub 👋

@perpetua Thank you for including Sloan, Canada's modern-day Beatles band. Perhaps the best example running of a pop/rock group with 4 singers/songwriters.

[J.C. @SeeJoeSmile]

@Weezer Required listening for all songwriters writing pop and rock music. You can be quirky and clever, and make it sound great, as long as it's authentic!

[J.C. @SeeJoeSmile]

@sportslogosnet It would be nice to see them pick a style and keep it for 3-5 year period. Save everyone some money and time, and get some steady branding going.

@CraigBaird My Dad, Stompin' Tom Connors, and Jean Chretien. That would be a really entertaining trip for the sheer banter, stories and songs as we visited famous historic sites across the country.

@sportslogosnet Interesting to only have the top 4 hockey countries involved? At least when it was NA vs the World, you had more representation. Still, no doubt it will be competitive and entertaining hockey.

[J.C. @SeeJoeSmile]

@sportslogosnet Agree. Shouldn't be celebrating making the post-season like it's the equivalent to the other victories there.

[J.C. @SeeJoeSmile]

@robsheff Any chance we get another book from you in the near future? You've written such good works over the years.

[J.C. @SeeJoeSmile]

@Metric Such a good album. One of my favs from 2009. Fav song...hm...Gimme Sympathy seems like an easy answer but it is a really well-made and mixed pop/rock song.

[J.C. @SeeJoeSmile]

@celinedionysus_ Sloan. Great alt-rock band from Canada.
Check out "One Chord to Another" or "Action Pact" and bop along.

[J.C. @SeeJoeSmile]

@peteyorn One of the BEST pop/rock albums ever. In my personal top 10. Never gets old. No skips. Love it.

[J.C. @SeeJoeSmile]

@perpetua Frank Sinatra would be pretty cool, amongst all those awesome shows, because my grandparents and my Dad really liked swing and big band. To see Frank, in NYC, seems special.

Worth considering for our @OttCatholicSB schools where it could be valuable to have administrators keep a foot in the classroom to continue their craft or teaching excellence, to continue to engage and evolve as teachers, actively mindful of the classroom Ss experience.

We spend a lot of time on how to build a better company and better company systems.

One thing that has always been in the way of building world class products is the traditional setup of the "corporate ladder" - it means that the best people end up managing instead of directly working on product.

I've seen the traditional ladder described as "peter principling at scale" and friends joke that the best place to hire great engineers is other companies' management layers. This is all silly and we can do better.

We are solving this at Shopify with the ~Mastery system, which we are rolling out internally today. We will share our learnings as time goes on.

@JRichDaDon1 @harvilla I just started listening to this podcast a few months ago, and really dig the format, so I'm interested to see what tangents Rob goes on to get to those longer podcasts. Or is it more interviews?

[J.C. @SeeJoeSmile]

@FranziaMom Modest Mouse's The Moon and Antarctica is just beautiful. "Gravity Rides Everything" is probably in my top 20 favourite songs ever, but I can't listen to it often. Too much nostalgia and emotion.
