My kid just asked for a USB 2.0 mini-B cable to charge his calculator.
I found one in under a minute!!!
Reminder kids: Never throw away anything, and periodically organize and label your box-O-wires JUST IN CASE!
One day those hours of prep will pay off (and only internet nerds may care).

2 days earlier, we were living like kings. We feed dozens of family at a seafood restaurant on a pier for under $300.
Amidst a 40 hour door-to-door return home, we slept on the floor in ATL and were looked upon as bums.
Travel changes perspective.

This is one of the most important models for me when looking at optimizing for flow.
Ideals like "single piece flow" (left side) are great if it doesn't take too long to deploy to prod.
Monthly deployments (right side) optimizes for deployment pain and causes other pain.
Find & Fix balance.
