@oanapdrr @IBM @RedHat Thanks! Much appreciated!

@ashWinningData @IBM @RedHat This looks awesome! 😊

My @IBM-inspired Halloween costume this year is as a 'Hybrid #Multicloud Architecture Powered by Containers and @RedHat'. (Seriously!) The neighborhood kids are going to be *incredibly* confused.

@RyanBares Happy Halloween!

@IBMSystems @IBMZ Good eye!!! It is indeed a Z mainframe!Happy Halloween!

Don't worry Siri, this is just what every basketball fan in Canada is feeling right now... Let's go @Raptors! #WeTheNorth

As part of a much larger effort to improve virtual #collaboration and #productivity across @IBM, we put together this teaser video. Here's our take on the realities of "co-lame-boration" via teleconferencing! youtu.be/raNoh1Mxx2I

When I was in school, the job role of #DataScientist really didn't exist. Now, #data and #AI are so prevalent that it's referenced casually in children's television shows (like Ghostwriter on Apple TV+). Amazing how far the industry has evolved! #ilovemywork

After 11 weeks of learning, I received my 'AI Foundations for Everyone Specialization' professional certificate through @Coursera. In particular, the course on building an intelligent #chatbot using #WatsonAssistant is exceptional, and essential for anyone interested in #ai.

Here's a very cool video showing how to memorize the first 100 digits of pi in a day. It uses the Major System, which is used by most Memory Competition competitors. This can be extended to any other numerical memorization: phone #, IDs, credit cards, etc. bit.ly/2uunhjr

Hey @WWE @TicketmasterCA @ScotiabankArena, how is it possible that within 5 seconds of #SummerSlam tickets going on sale, there are ZERO tix available on the N or S floor? Something sketchy going on here...

In honor of #PiDay, I was going to make a joke about pi ...but that'd just go on forever! *womp womp* Happy #PiDay! (image src: imgur)

I'm glad to hear that the Canada has grounded all #Boeing737Max8 aircraft, while more investigation is ongoing. I've personally been on two of those in just the last month.

30 yrs ago, a self-taught computer scientist proposed using hypertext links to solve info storage issues. Today, we're using that tech to thank Tim Berners-Lee and celebrate the 30th birthday of the World Wide Web! Here's the flow chart that became the internet (from W3C)! #Web30

This pledge doesn't just expire when #InternationalWomensDay19 ends. It persists, and that's my #BeEqual pledge. ibm.co/2NJmDah

@danhernandezATX 100% agree with this. I can't remember the last time I watched a video or listened to a recorded webcast at 1X speed. Best part is that when your brain gets used to it, you can often up the speed higher.

Listen to podcasts @ 1.5X. Use Stitcher if you prefer 1.25X. One of my best productivity hacks. Just wish I knew how to run meetings at 2X.

In time for #InternationalWomensDay the IBM Institute for Business Value (@IBMIBV) has released a study on why so few orgs have come close to achieving gender equality in leadership, despite the small handful tangibly outperforming in the market. ibm.biz/Bd2QgB

I had the privilege of meeting President @BillClinton and former Secretary of State @HillaryClinton in Toronto yesterday!

Today, IBM announced Disaster Recovery (DR) capabilities for Db2 on Cloud. This will enable users to add a DR Node on-demand, in an offsite data center of their choice. All it takes is the push of a button! Read more here: ibm.co/2mbKfrd

I’ve stayed in a *lot* of hotels over the last few years, and I can confidently say that breakfast at the Hilton Tokyo (Shinjuku) is among the best in the world. #tokyo #japan

Today, @IBM debuted Summit, the world's most powerful #supercomputer. It's capable of 200 petaflops (ie. 200 quadrillion mathematical calculations each second)! More info here: cnet.co/2HyK7Kx
