Look at this super cute sign Robyn made for our booth this weekend! We’ll be at the Women’s Business Center Marketplace at the Hub on Monterey in SLO this Sunday from 12-4pm! We’ll have examples of our custom work, as well as soldering kits and yarn notions, and would love to chat! #slo #sanluisobispo

I really liked this informal community poll and thematic analysis on SLO usage. It does a better job at highlighting the hurdles to adopting them at a Company Who Is Not Google than a lot of "Here's how to do SLOs" pieces that just don't cover it.

If there is ever a "Seeking SLOs" book, this should be the first chapter.
