I am working remote from Seattle this week for several reasons. Tuesday I had my FAA Part 107 renewal exam for commercial SUAS pilot – and passed. I did a lot of studying and practice tests. I can’t recommend RemotePilot101.com enough and first learned of them in our corporate training program and now use them for all my SUAS training and certification needs. 

Thursday I am speaking at Seattle Startup Week.
How Technology is changing the $10 trillion construction industry

Join us for a fireside chat panel on how software, automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud technologies, virtual and augmented reality and new business models and services are all beginning to transform design, making and the built environment we all live and work in.

PS: I just had to stop and see the Space Needle this morning. I didn't go up in it as I didn’t have time but did capture several photos from around it while heading to a coffee meeting. Loved the dramatic autumn morning clouds which burned off in 30 minutes.
