Simple reminder where to pick up the keynote recording today.

 

It has taken three tries to get to the two-hour mark in Apple’s WWDC 2015 keynote recording. Only 23 more minutes. Being organized means having the patience, and commitment, to invest four time chunks to get it done.

Apple is changing the world. If you’re not following Apple, you may be missing a huge motivational opportunity.

Having humans express the opposite of typical business emotions, like me above.

Walt taught me us that laughter is no enemy to learning.
