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.

Daily LinkedIn shares and posting

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

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

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

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

I also write a column twice a month for Contractor Mag

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