Daily Thoughts 01/29/2018

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read a little bit more of Data Strategy.  I am reading about how data effects customer service and operations.  One example they uss is that banks now check your financial transactions with algorithms to make sure you are the one making a purchase.

I also read a bit more of The Victory Lab.  I am reading about early studies done in Chicago on what motivates people to vote.

Last night, I watched The Inexplicable Universe: Unsolved Mysteries narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson.  It is part of the Great Courses lecture series on DVD.  I like Tyson's lectures.

I also read the latest Bookpage.

I wrote a short post for my class on the concept of Ladders of Engagement.
