I created a collection of TeamSPS events page to easily connect all my blog posts from a variety of our annual events. Great memories and more to come! π
Tina Schlieske put on an amazing show at The Dakota tonight in celebration of her 57th birthday. We had front row seats and the energy and emotion was incredible. πΆ

reMarkable β you can do better than this? π¬ No, Iβm not going to install Rosetta. I guess I’ll try to get along with using the web browser to import PDFs into my reMarkable.

Our team (table 40) had a great time at our Growth Summit 2024 Give Back event building a Piper Computer Kit with a Piper Make Rover. Team SPS made over 180 of these combos in partnership with Create MPLS to give to kids in school for STEM classes! π§βπ¬



Growth Summit 2024
We had an amazing Growth Summit 2024 with Team SPS today! We had our North American team in person with over 1,500 in the Minneapolis Convention Center. It was Chad Collins first Growth Summit as our new CEO, we got to celebrate our wins, and had a tremendous keynote from Mike Walsh. π





I voted! Just one election on the ballot so was fast. Minnesota does a great job running polling places. OmniFocus shirt seemed like a good tie in.

Thirteen years ago today I added my 100th login to 1Password. It is amazing to me that I’ve been using 1Password for that long! I now have 937 logins and 303 other items across 8 vaults shared with 1Password for Families!
Impressive balloon display at The Depot. Are balloon displays a thing?

Speaking on a panel at Minneapolis CIO Summit this afternoon β Generative AI: Will it Revolutionize Customer and Employee Experiences? Looking forward to sharing some of the wins weβve seen.

Update: See LinkedIn post with photos of panel.
Yuri sent me this photo of Kyiv looking great at sunset. I miss my trips there to visit the team.

Ready for Halloween Trick-or-Treaters but suspect the 32 Β°F and dusting of snow is going to keep counts low. ππ»π₯Ά

Snow isnβt a great way to start Halloween! π π»π₯Ά

iMac Upgrade
It has been time for us to upgrade our 27" 3.7 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5 (2019) and 27" 3.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 (2017) both with 2TB Fusion Drives. The later can’t even upgrade to macOS Sonoma.
The iMac is the form factor I wanted, but I wasn’t willing to go with an M1 Chip in 2023! With the “Scary Fast” announcements tonight and the Apple Silicon M3 iMacs I can get the chip I want! Placed orders for two of them, both with 24GB of unified memory and 2TB SSD storage. Decided to get the Blue and Orange combination.

Apple Silicon M3 is here! A MacBook Pro with an M3 Max has an incredible amount of power. Wow! Iβll be ordering two of the iMacs with M3.
We saw Spirited Away at Willow Creek Theater today as part of Ghibli Festival. First time we had seen it and enjoyed it a lot. πΏ
