Across My Desk

snippets, blog bits, tweets, linkedIn posts, and url links that are about to fall off my desktop

Ken Sinclair
Founder, Owner, Publisher AutomatedBuildings.com

Every month there is a blizzard of information contained in the emails and newsletters that cross my desk on their way to AutomatedBuildings.com. Some of this information is not in the form of any type of content we can publish but I feel I should share with you these snippets, blog bits, Tweets, LinkedIn posts, and URL links that are about to fall off my desktop.

On a daily basis I tweet as @Ken_Sinclair https://twitter.com/Ken_Sinclair

I actual now have a few moments ;-) https://twitter.com/Ken_Sinclair/moments

I tweet links I think will be of interest and part of our rapid industry evolution.

Also, http://automatedbuildings.com/ maintains this LinkedIn online blog for the magazine, a great place to interact.

I also write a column twice a month for Contractor Mag http://www.contractormag.com/author/Ken-Sinclair

And a column once a month for facilitiesnet Home of Building Operating Management & Facility Maintenance Decisions Magazines

But I still have stuff falling off my desk I feel I should share.

Sullivan: I noticed in the Bedrock Detroit Smart Building Specification that you spell out clearly in the Installing Contractor Scope section (Point #7) “Tag all points as per Haystack Tagging Conventions.” Then in the Master Integrator Scope section: “Verify all points have been integrated with all required points and tagged properly.” How is all that tagging and verifying working out for you?
