Dug into the hard parts of leadership in my latest Way and Wisdom leadership session this morning. Like David, who was anointed king but still spent many days alone in the wilderness hiding from his enemies, a great career will still include difficult periods. Remember that God will be with you even in dark valleys.

Good, solid balanced view in this article about faith in my patch of the planet from @katherinejlucky. This is just scratching the surface on faith in Silicon Valley -- there is so much more going on. Where the soil is hard, that is where God shows up in wonderful ways. comment.org/revival-among-…

@cstanley Funny - I am thinking about how very bad this type of port is for security since both USB and USB-C can transfer data... The plugs were much more secure... buy a dongle that blocks the data path before plugging into these open security black holes...

@huberw @Jon_2vcps Agreed.

@Jon_2vcps It is. The truth is VMware neglected the program for years before Broadcom was ever in the picture. You can’t put this on them in my opinion.

I guess it was probably time… RIP #VCDX and thanks for the fun ride! #cheers

@wyrdgirl @MrsBrookfield No they do not... you can schedule and take the exam right away

@MrsBrookfield Do they still force you to take training before the exam?

Here's my personal take on the #vExpert news. I have been a vExpert for 8 years, long before I joined VMware. I don't think sitting a VCP exam, which most of vExperts would sit anyway, is an unreasonable ask to get access to $20k worth of licenses. 1/2

Wow!! This is huge news for labbers!

"More than 8 out of 10 CIOs today are moving workloads back on-premises. Here's my view: the future of the enterprise - your enterprises - is private. Private cloud, private AI, fueled by your own private data." - Hock Tan, President & CEO, at the #VMwareExplore General Session.

@josh_odgers Or do anything together regularly.

I’d bet the same is true for couples who do #Gym or #Jiujitsu together.

@TheBrianGraf Keep the minivan.

Okay folks. I need some advice. Very seriously considering a seven-seater Tesla model with the current financing being such a steal. The issue: we have six children so we don't all fit in this vehicle. We currently have a sienna 8 passenger, and a 12-seater that we use when we take take friends and family with us. If we were to get this, I think we would get rid of the sienna. However, we prefer the sienna to the 12-seater because it has better gas mileage and it's easier to drive and park. That being said, there are lots of times where my wife and kids go out during the day so they would technically all fit unless we went somewhere as an entire family. I will also be doing FSD if I get the Y. Since there is no Tesla minivan, I'm torn... Thoughts? #tesla @Micro2Macr0 @aaronbuley @vcdxnz001
