Awesome pics capturing my favorite people in Lambeau on Sat - the great @arikarmstead on the left and my son @DeeterSports on the upper right (with his brother Logan behind him and me in the red pants on the left)! Amazing lifetime memory! #GoNiners

^EMCloud now worth ~50% from its Nov 2021 peak. Avg company growth rate is 45%, which suggests it'll take ~20 months to get back if growth rates hold AND multiples stay the same as they are today. Over/under is then November 15, 2023. Do you predict faster or slower & why?

It's very painful on iOS to not be able to "unread" text messages. Once I read a text message, I need to reply right away, or I risk forgetting about it. So now I just don't read a text msg until I know I have bandwidth to reply. Goes against the entire point of text messages.
