I am lucky enough to live in an area that was in the “path of totality” for the solar eclipse that took place August 21st, 2017. Being the largest city in the 100% coverage path, Nashville was expected to receive visitors from all over the world for the event and I had a front-row seat from my home! The hour leading up to the event was plagued by clouds. Stupid clouds. 🌥 #solareclipse2017 #eclipse2017 pic.twitter.com/fDD6Z0MYgv — Daniel Glenn (@DanielGlenn) August 21, 2017 Thankfully, the clouds parted before the total eclipse happened so I could see it clearly and take some pictures!

Office 365 Msg Center: The week that was
Keeping up with all the features and updates to Office 365 can be overwhelming. Microsoft is doing a better job of giving you insight into what is coming to your environment by posting to the Message Center within the Office 365 Admin Center. But if you don't check in with the message center often, you might miss something very important that has huge impact to you and your users. What about the announcements that aren't even in the Message Center – how do you stay informed? To help you be in the know, Darrell Webster and I will be going through the Message Center every week and giving you the information…
