Every week I come across new things that I find interesting, and most of them turn into blog posts. However, I also stumble upon a lot of other items that aren’t worth a full post, but are worth sharing. Here are some from the past week.
Game: Stardew Valley
If you take a little Minecraft, a little Farmville and perhaps a bit of The Sims, and then throw it into a very 8-bit looking world, you get Stardew Valley. The girls and I have been playing this for the last week and it’s pretty neat. The video below shows a bit more about what it’s like.

TV Show: Designated Survivor
It’s on a bit of a hiatus for now (until March), but there are at least a dozen more episodes coming and I’m excited to see more.

Everyone else uses a laptop and stays up and running to some degree, but my desktop computer powers all the way down and I need to start my session fresh. It’s not a huge deal, but it’s annoying. To solve that, I ordered a battery backup so it won’t happen again.

Last our Meetup on January 26 we had three guests (Jenny Munn of The Munn Group, Adam Walker of Sideways8 and Daniel Swain of JDS Web Design) to talk about ways to grow your business in 2017. You can check out the video and notes from the Meetup here.
What other great things have you come across this week?
