Spotify Premium is awesome
Maddy surprised me the other day with a subscription to Spotify premium. For only $10/mo it offers two huge benefits:
No annoying ads. Nothing cramps your listening like a Spotify ad. They are often poorly done, and some are even poorly recorded (I can hear ‘pops’ like the voice over person was too close to the mic). Now there are none!

My favorite line:
The S.C. Republican Party no longer needed my $400,000, but being Southern gentlemen, they graciously offered to still want it.

This is a product management role (not product development - more like strategy, customer experience, product roadmap, etc.) and ideal candidates are smart, super motivated w/ some product strategy/mgmt experience. Great opportunity for up and comers…...

That was hilarious. ”Every second you sit takes an hour off your life.” Right on! I love my geekdesk. I’m waiting for the episode where Dwight changes his keyboard layout to one more optimal than QWERTY.
