    The problem is the lack of structure.

    I organize a lot of workshops involving people from experts to executives, where you always need an introduction round, and I give them a structure to follow. Makes the task it easier, but it’ll also be much more useful for the group, as we’ll focus in the aspects of a person that matter for the context of the workshop.

    For a class intro in primary school, it could be:

    • name and age
    • nickname you’d like others to call you
    • favorite subject
    • favorite hobby / free time activity

    I just made this up, but a teacher could probably come up with something even more fitting.

    The point is, always give people structure or guidance, you’ll get much more out of similar introduction rounds.















  • During a visit, my mother’s and my dog ate some chocolate cake that the wind blew off a table. We notice it in 10-15 mins, vet said just bring them in to induce vomiting. We did that, they got an injection each, and vomited out everything soon.

    In practice, vets want to take no risks by calculaing/guessing exact cocoa content, the best is just to have them vomit as soon as you can.

    Wife and I live in Germany, but still have some streaming services from our home country in Eastern Europe.

    We started a Scream movie marathon on the weekend to catch up on the series, before we watch the newest one in cinema.

    We watched the first 2, and half of the 3rd on 28th February Saturday on one of the streaming platforms (SkyShowtime). The next morning (1st of March), the movies were not available anymore.

    We finished 3 and watched 4 on Amazon Prime, but within that we had to start a separate subscription for horror movies.

    5 was only available in German with no subtitles, so I had to search for another source. Ended up creating a Paramount+ account, downloaded the app, and watched the movie there.

    Then back to Amazon Prime, where finished the 6th Scream movie, before heading to the local cinema.

    This was the last straw, we decided to go back to sail the seas after a decade of streaming service subscription. Next weekend I will take some time to figure out the setup we need to make this happen safely, as a lot has changed since I left it behind.
