Casual placement of our devices places stress on cables, connectors, and ports. Take time to place them in such a way so a greater portion of the cable itself is supported. This demonstrates care for our cables and devices.

Measuring to ensure a few new short ethernet cables will still be long enough.
A little bit of Awareness
I am very happy to have been one of the speakers at the last nights Up.Front. I shared my recent insight about my role of product/project management at teambay, where we make a tool that lets employees and managers exchange feedback anonymously, and on a weekly basis.
As I often do with presentations, I included a few screenshots from Star Trek: The Next Generation to accompany certain points related to helping teams communicate and become better aware.

Take time to backup your personal data.
Everyone back home is on my mind, and I’m sending vibes of peace and solidarity. California, see you in a few weeks.
There’s something I tell people a lot in person that is becoming more important to share:
Take time to backup your personal data.
Photos, music, documents and your contacts and calendars are really hard to replace.
If you loose them, it will be really, really stressful. No one is every happy when their data is lost.
Your data is only truly backed up if it exists on at least one other piece of hardware that you can physically hold in your hand. Whether USB sticks, SD cards or hard drives, external storage these days is relatively inexpensive and more reliable than before.
Or, if you utilize trusted sources for online store, which generally offer several gigabytes of storage for free.
Whether you use Time Machine, another tool, or just a manual drop stuff of your stuff, do this sooner than later.
Baking up your data will provide a little peace of mind.
You deserve it.
