Seattle - Amazon's Spheres
Have you heard about Amazon's Spheres?
The Spheres are a place where employees can think and work differently surrounded by plants. The Spheres are a result of innovative thinking about the character of a workplace and an extended conversation about what is typically missing from urban offices– a direct link to nature. The Spheres are home to more than 40,000 plants from the cloud forest regions of over 30 countries. (www.seattlespheres.com)
Building boom continues in downtown Seattle

RootsTech
RootsTech was a wonderful experience
People came from 50 states and 40+ countries
minutes before registration opened for thousands of people
who were eager to spend days learning about technology & genealogy
350+ classes
waiting for the exhibit hall to open
a family tree
Many of the vendors offered mini-classes in the exhibit hall
If you look closely you'll see people trying out mobile apps mentioned by the speaker
The Demo Theater featured comfy chairs, a new presentation every half hour, drawing for a prize at the end of each presentation, and a circulating basket of candy
Convention center food was expensive - $2 for a banana & $10 for a funnel cake! This sample was set out to tempt people. I resisted the temptation.
Have you ever watched Relative Race on BYU-TV?
On Saturday Family Discovery Day was added to RootsTech. In addition to classes and keynote presenters geared to the younger set, there were activities from various cultures. Here the teenagers learn a Polynesian dance with poi balls
