Today we have a guest post from Cecilia, a Dynedger on our team who recently made the annual DE pilgrimage to Cedar Point for HALLOWEEKENDS!
Recently I traveled with a group of my fellow Dynedgers to Cedar Point for our annual HALLOWEEKENDS trip. I believe that events (such as fantastic trips to Cedar Point!) are great team building exercises because they help build a feeling of camaraderie.

This day and age we have so many electronics to keep up with. Now there’s a simple way to track where you’ve left them and keep them from getting stolen.
The iFi Systems Smart Tags work like a two way pager between you and your valuables. The iFi utilizes a Bluetooth connection through an app on your iPhone or Droid device. It can easily be attached to a handbag, camera case, or just about anything else you’d like to protect. These Smart Tags can also act as a handy reminder that you’ve forgotten something, or worse, that your valuables are walking off with an opportunistic thief!
You can attach multiple tags to multiple items and check the status of each one directly from the home screen.

We’ve all taken that call.
Read that email.
Received that voicemail.
You know the one– Customer X is super angry that your team didn’t do Y or Z for them correctly. There is always two sides to the story, but it also always boils down to this: The customer is upset and the buck stops on you to fix it.
If you are like me, you would prefer to just avoid the conversation all together. I am a nerdy computer guy that would rather just work on the problem than deal with the upset customer. The issue with this approach is that it usually blows up in my face. The customer gets madder and madder and even though the problem gets solved, a bigger issue pops up: THE SUPER ANGRY CUSTOMER STAYS THAT WAY.
