Way to go India!
I’m somewhat of a space nerd and just super excited to see India to be the first to land on the moon’s South Pole. Neil deGrasse Tyson does a great job of explaining why that’s important.
So cool!
Got Milk?
Real estate agent fined over $15,000 for drinking milk at seller’s home
“After a home surveillance camera caught Mike Rose drinking milk straight out of the container at a house he was showing, the British Columbia Financial Services Authority, a government agency tasked with regulating the Canadian province’s financial institutions, on July 18 deemed Rose’s actions “unbecoming” under the British Columbia Real Estate Services Act. It fined him 20,000 Canadian dollars, or approximately $15,162. The agency also ordered Rose to pay an additional 2,500 Canadian dollars, or almost $1,896, in enforcement expenses, records show.”
My guess if the agent had stolen a beer from the fridge instead of milk the Canadian Feds would have let it pass.
Do the “close door” buttons in elevators really work?
2023-03-13 the door close button
“So it seems that the reality of elevator “door close” buttons is rather less dramatic than Radiolab and the NYTimes imply: the “door close” button is perfectly functional, but details of the 1990 ADA mean that most of the time people are pressing it the elevator controller isn’t permitted to close the door due to ADA rules. As far as I can tell, outside of the ADA minimum door time, door close buttons work just fine.
As a frequent traveler, I’ve always wondered about this.
But, I can tell you this, if I’m in the elevator and I see you racing to the elevator while the door is shutting, I may not actually be pressing the “door open” button even if my pantomime says otherwise. : )
The more you know…
Not sure why I found this so amusing. I can think of a few companies I would like to try this on.
Tropical Depression
Don’t believe the hype. First off its currently a tropical depression, not a hurricane. Secondly, this thing is moving east. My prediction is this time tomorrow it will be heading to Greenland.
Button up Buttercup and bring a raincoat.

New Event: Join us in Orange County on September 27th
I’m kinda bummed that iOi Summit and CMLS are booked for the same week. Just another scheduling victim of the pandemic. CMLS runs from September 28 to September 30 and I’m way excited about going to Indianapolis, for what feels like a back-to-normal CMLS.
That being said Drew Meyers of Geek Estate reached out to me and asked if I wanted to co-host a pre-party for iOi Summit in Orange County. Drew does these “Sorries” as part of his GEM group. I had a bunch of fun with my Orange County Prop Tech Summit so I immediately said “Yes”!
Anyway, we will be holding it at Dan and my garage/office/maker space. See the link below if you are interested in attending.

I just hope I don’t miss my flight to Indy the next morning!
P.S. For those of you coming to iOi Summit and not familiar with the area, the location of this event (Costa Mesa, CA – Orange County) is at least 45 min to an hour away (depending on traffic) from the iOi Summit event hotel (JW Marriott Los Angeles), so plan accordingly. If you are flying into the John Wayne airport (SNA) the event is only about 10 mins away.
Frances Wiseman joins Sisu
I know what you are thinking; why is everyone leaving you Greg?
For those of you who don’t know Frances, she was our Director of Marketing at W+R Studios. She started with us in 2012, I believe we had less than 10 people at the time. She was also a big factor in W+R’s success. While Katie managed all the Enterprises sales, Frances managed a huge part of the agent sales along with company marketing.
If you love W+R’s t-shirts, then you have Frances to thank.
She had the almost impossible job of making all my crazy ideas come to life.
Did you order the Mariachis yet?
I think we need more dry ice.
Can we double our order of balloons?
I want to dress Karl up like Bjorn Borg.
I want to turn our office into a speakeasy, can you pull that off?
Yes, she did.
It was also great to see her grow, build a team and lead some of W+R’s awesome events. I can say that all of us had some fun times together. Here’s an example:
Frances had taken on a smaller role at Lone Wolf, but I knew she was anxious to get back to something she could sink her teeth in too, so while I’m sad to see her leave I know she was ready for a new a challenge. She has joined the team at Sisu, where she is the Director of Growth Marketing. I hope they realize what a rockstar they have hired.
Thank you Frances. I hope to see “Travel Frances” soon.
MLS Grid – “But Wait There’s More!”
Gotta love this “infomercial” that MLS Grid created. So funny and super well done. They showed this at the recent RESO Conference. Thanks to Rebecca Pearson of MRED for letting me share it here too.
