Amazon Fresh... refreshing

Today we received our first Amazon Fresh order. Overall, quite satisfactory experience.

Convenience: Excellent. Their website is pretty well designed, you can easily browse and pick the items that you want. The delivery options are pretty convenient... we chose pre-dawn; before 6:00am in the morning we already had our groceries at our doorstep. Packaging was formidable and even the containers were nice looking. All the items arrived in pristine condition.

Quality: Fruit, poultry and fish were pretty good; certainly better than what I would chose by myself (I'm not good at picking stuff on the supermarket). The rest of the stuff was standard, meaning that it would be equivalent to get the stuff anywhere else (e.g. a bag of chips was a standard bag of chips as you would expect).

Prices: They are lower than Safeway's and higher than Fred Meyer. As an introductory offer, Amazon takes care of the sales tax.

Are we going to shop again on Amazon Fresh? Probably... to be honest supermarkets are less than mile from our place and we like the on-premise shopping experience he he. We were mainly curious so we decided to give Amazon a try... who knows, maybe in a bitter cold day we will order again... or maybe we become so busy (e.g. lazzy) that we end up being fervent customers.

Saving bucks by keeping your heater warm

When I first heard the suggestion of putting a blanket around my heater I thought: what??!!! After painfully findind that indeed our apartment water heater is an electric one (I know, I should have noticed it before duhh! ) and receiving 100+ dollars bills each month for electricity I decided to dig into the blanket suggestion. It turns out that there are special blankets (jackets) for water heaters that make them be more efficient and reduce the consumption of electricity (supposedly). So my wife and I decided to purchase one in home depot... hopefully our electricity bill will get reduced a bit.

Achieving Sustained Agility

Hi, my name is Humberto, Carnegie Mellon alum with over 15 years of experience as a Product Manager, including a significant and ongoing tenure at Microsoft, where I focus on developing platforms and products for both enterprise and consumers. During my career, as well as through the experiences shared by colleagues at various organizations, I've observed teams sometimes struggle to achieve sustained agility and fall into the "Hamster Wheel of Haste". In this post I will explain the nature of this pattern, its signs, and how teams and leaders can improve with proven techniques.  Definition The hamster wheel of haste is a permanent state of feeling too busy, wanting to make fast progress but being unable to do so over a sustained period. This leads teams to neglect efforts that would help them increase their speed and rely on short term crutches that further perpetuate the cycle. When teams remain in this state for too long, it inevitably leads to burnout. ⚠️Warning Sig...

Guitar Hero III...tomorrow!!

Tomorrow I'll finally get my hands on a copy of Guitar Hero III with the wireless guitar. I had to pay an undisclosed amount of money for it on ebay... hope it is worth the deal; if not I'll have to seek revenge from the friends that introduced me to the addiction (GH2). On a side note... We (the CRM Team) got our new release out the door last friday :) ...as a reward we will have a couple of extra days of vacations [Insert video of Borat saying: "Nice"]
