The Texas Perch Studio: Mud Water, Choosing Texas & DynamicsCon Edition
Joe Christensen is broadcasting live from his Texas perch, powered by double-barrel coffee spiked with the last of his Mud Water, delivering his signature Friday LinkedIn feed news roundup with zero filter and maximum tangents. He riffs on robots taking over one bot at a time with Claude’s Opus 4.7 and AI agents, dreams of building the fanciest plumbed sheds with billions of dollars, hypes DynamicsCon in Las Vegas (mere weeks away), crowns Britney Burke with this week’s Algorithm Award for her final panelist announcement, reacts to property management billing headaches with Anya Chechersky and SkyBill, celebrates Mary Myers’ customer success story at Barnes Denning, cheers Matthew Hiscock’s move to Thrivance Consulting and return to Middle Tennessee, throws in Ella Langley’s “Choose in Texas” vibes, roasts Workday’s latest post, and plugs Aqueduct’s fixed-price data migration + reporting services (D365 F&O, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, and the upcoming Report Factory). Light on breaking headlines, heavy on dad jokes, community love, self-promo, and pure unfiltered Joe chaos.
