@BoringBiz_ Incrementally less to learn each day - it started to feel like Groundhog Day.

Running a business on the other hand. There's always a surprise around the corner that you need to deal with, both good and bad. The learning never stops.

@ErnestWongBWM @PrefShares Is Roku considered high quality? Isn't it just a means of distribution? Disney and all these other folks own the content (yes, Roku made the Weird Al movie so I guess it is getting into content)

@FrancisPSantora I personally don't like when the file sizes are unnecessarily huge. You immediately want to delete the presentation from your inbox. Also, on the words, I can't stand "utilize".

@RyanReeves_ The Google Podcasts app was pretty good but they shut it down to force folks to move to YouTube Music. Love Spotify for my music but not as good as the Google app for podcasts. Not sure if there are other good recs
