We’ve had growing crowds every week at the MSP #TeslaTakedown in Golden Valley, MN: 100-some, then 200-some, then ~350–380…. This weekend is supposed to be a really big one worldwide — every dealership, big crowds, really get some attention — but tomorrow’s weather forecast in MN looks kind of dismal.

I worry…but then I know we’re not so easily deterred. Let’s show them how it gets done here in Minnesota.

There are 4 Minnesota locations to protest, and many more worldwide. Find them here, and please show up if you can! https://www.teslatakedown.com

Pretty darn good turnout for #TeslaTakedown today in Golden Vally, MN: I counted at least 350, and somebody else said 380.

That’s up from ~210 last week, and 100+ the week before.

See you there next Saturday? 11am until 12-something!

Lucky you! There are •two• different chances for you to show up for democracy this week!

We have to admit that we have technical service debt. Tracking helpdesk ticket close time shouldn't be the top KPI anymore. There are bigger issues to focus on.

In tech years, it's the age old question. But the more important reason is why you prefer one over the other. James and Amy have opposing opinions on this one. We also run down the top performing password managers.

I was interviewed for an article in Corp Magazine on what businesses need to know to get ready for AI. One of the dangers that businesses need to address today, is that if you don't provide employees with the tools they want and need they will create their own solution and with AI that could put on a dark road. Planning is key.
