Little Weekend Links 43

I’m getting ready to head to the airport shortly, back to London for a week of work before honeymoon. I’ve spent this past week in Boston, mainly attending the Inbound 2014 conference – a giant inbound marketing conference with about 10,000 other people and some 150 speakers like Martha Stewart, Malcolm Gladwell, Guy Kawasaki and other big marketing names including 22 best-selling authors. It was interesting to be in that environment for a few days. Arriving Sunday afternoon meant I also spent few hours wandering, getting to know the city a bit better. It’s fun when a city starts to come together after three visits or so, the way the streets start to make sense, a general direction develops and you realise that you can actually navigate from one place to another without a map – which is great when there’s no wi-fi. I stayed in a quirky little Airbnb flat with a dog named Skye who eats frozen green beans (but only the French ones). More on that later. For now, some 7 hours in the sky. See you tomorrow, London!

What was the best moment of your week last week? What are you up to this weekend? Anything exciting? Leave me some comments to read in the airport.
