Things I’ve Learned - Week of 10/19

The title of this post should be pretty self explanatory. I will specify that this particular post also includes other recent learnings of note, not limited to this week.

  • Small business computing isn’t just about low cost - it’s about sustainability and self-sufficiency, that’s how you need to talk to "small business" owners (Thanks David)
  • Best Buy honors their "If your store-pickup online order isn’t ready in 1 minute, we give you $10 off" guarantee and without hassle - even if you’re only buying a couple DVD’s
  • Proper assessment of non-responsive person with regard to breathing/airway, CPR (dictated by the aforementioned), use of nasopharyngeal airway, and other fun/interesting medical doodads/techniques
    • Tidbit: the beat to the song "Stayin’ Alive" made famous in the John Travolta disco movie (Saturday Night Fever?) is a near perfect match to the proper rate of compressions when performing CPR. Good to hum in your head if you ever have to perform compressions (make sure they don’t have a pulse first!)
  • If your girlfriend gives you two birthday cards and one says "Daddy," pay attention to other markings on the outside (i.e. cat paw prints) that might signify the card being pseudo-written from a pet, whom you are the unofficial parent of, before looking like this :shock:
  • I need to get a more global perspective on things for work - when considering your social media audience, you can’t even assume you’re limited to countries that speak the same language, nor should you limit your tools & platforms to one language
