Tom's Las Vegas Packing List
HI folks,
I’m going to write this newsletter then start packing for my trip to Vegas Sunday for TMS Vegas! Hope to see a bunch of y’all there.
I get in early Sunday and have some shenanigans to record for Brian Ibbott. But if your headed to the Sphere that afternoon I’ll see you there. And I’ll probably pop in to the Plaza pool as well if folks are hanging out there.
Monday morning I’ll be prepping for DTNS and then doing it live at 1 PM in the Canyon Room at the Plaza. After that I’ll just go with the flow. I hear there’s Karaoke at some point. I can’t stay late though because I have an early flight Tuesday morning to get back home and do DTNS. I wish I could stay longer, but there’s stuff going on at home I can’t leave Eileen with for too long. You understand.
Top 5!
This week’s Top 5 is so much fun. The Top 5 Demo fails! And we have video of them all. You can’t miss this one.
Book Update
I’m more than half way toward funding my book on technology called Synced! Please pre-order if you haven’t already!
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR TECH NEWS?
Just a reminder that this is my personal newsletter where I just keep people up to date on all my stuff and share some of my fiction writing. I have a whole other newsletter about tech news called Tech Tom. You can subscribe to that as well at freetechnewsletter.com! This week I broke down everything you need to know about the TikTok news. Highlighted the things you actually care about from tech earnings reports. Explained how Qualcomm can beat Apple at processors and revealed that yes, CAPTCHAS are in fact getting harder.
That’s freetechnewsletter.com
