Play Games with me on Zoom?
Hello Reader,
As you might know, I teach professional speakers how to lead better Zoom meetings. I do this through games and interactive activities.
Tomorrow, I'm leading a Zoom Games Happy Hour for Certified Virtual Presenters. If you are in this Facebook group, then you are invited, and you can RSVP at that link.
I'm also teaching another cohort of the eSpeakers Virtual Host Certification next week, September 22-23, 1-4:30 pm Pacific time.

If you've got an interesting thought or idea on the topic, hit reply, I'd love to know what you think. Or, come to one of these events:
- Zoom Games Happy Hour, Friday 9/16 1pm PT
- Virtual Host Certification, Th-Fr 9/22-23 1-3:30pm PT

🏆 "Kimi K3 is the best performing model on http://nextjs.org/evals, ahead of Fable, reaching a comparable success rate in less time.

🎭 "It prepares you vastly better for the future to think of models as cartoon characters of arbitrary and growing intelligence living in the cloud than it does to think of them as software or tools." - roon Hello Reader, There's been lots of releases in July 2026. First, Anthropic said after Fable 5 was (re)-released, it would go onto the API, and paid subscribers could only use it via API or usage credits (making it pay-as-you-go, instead of all-you-can-eat) after 7 July.
