Strong feelings don’t excuse the absence of strong thinking.

Hey @elonmusk - when my kids ask for something expensive, they say "well, I'll pick it up." (they don't drive). So...with that in mind, may I please have a Tesla? I'll pick it up!

A few thoughts from the past few months. What do you want to hear more about? #Leadership #PersonalGrowth #EmotionalIntelligence

A mattress company needs to lock up an endorsement deal with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ASAP. "At the end of a long day, I just want to flop... onto my Tempur-Pedic mattress." Why has this not happened? @Wendys, you know people... can you make some calls? #NBA #Spurs #Thunder

"Frontier AI" is everywhere right now. But what's it mean? There's also a side of the frontier that is a bit more wild and dangerous. The AI models accelerating innovation can also be used to find vulnerabilities in software... dy.si/T45Vwe2

Is your infrastructure built to respond at machine speed? The threat landscape just changed with Frontier AI. Here's what that means. youtu.be/FK07cxj76QI

That’s especially true for guys playing through injury. People forget that after the Wolves series last year, it came out that Reaves had been playing through a toe sprain that normally would’ve sidelined him for weeks. A bad night is a bad night. The overreactions are worse.

Austin Reaves had a bad playoff game. So did Kobe. Kobe once shot 6-24 in Game 7 of the NBA Finals and still ended the night holding the trophy. He had playoff games of: 6-19 5-24. 4-20. But one game doesn’t define a player. 1/2 #LakeShow #Lakers #NBA

The infrastructure that worked 2 years ago is already struggling to keep up. @VMwareExplore 2026 is where practitioners go to get ahead of it. Will I see you there? 🔗vmware.com/explore/us  - #VMwareExplore #PrivateCloud #PrivateAI

Mindset shift… You’re dying a little every day. Are you living more? #mindsetshift #dying #intentionalliving #lifeisbeautiful

If you were all packed and ready, where would the plane take you? And with who? And why there?

@SouthwestAir Hi — I’m on a flight right now and dealing with a seating situation that’s significantly impacting my ability to sit. Can someone contact me via chat ASAP to help resolve? Thank you.

Knowing the DORA pillars won't keep a financial services org in compliance. Only operational resilience will. If you can’t see it, you can’t secure it, and you can't report on it in time. Turn a mandate into a standard way of working: blogs.vmware.com/cloud-foundati…

If you can't show value, does it really exist? In #PlatformEngineering, you have 12 months to prove the investment was worth it. Read the article to learn about the metrics that matter... 🔗theregister.com/2026/02/11/met… -- @vmwarevcf @TheRegister #PlatformEngineering

My local @FedExOffice store said donation requests need to go through corporate. So I'm asking here: can you print 10 posters for the girls' YMCA basketball team that I coach? #sportgirl #playlikeagirl

@ElonMusk_LordX Need more information. Could be 2, could be 35, could be in between, or could be more. It says that the couple went for the picnic… We don’t know who else was invited and attended.

Bare metal may be considered more efficient, but enterprise Kubernetes users have other concerns that make virtual machines appealing. Thanks to @vmwarevcf thenewstack.io/should-enterpr…

Managing 1 edge site manually is manageable. Managing 1,000 isn't. There's a better way. 1) Watch the video. 2) Read the blog for the full story on operationalizing the edge with #VMwareCloudFoundation: blogs.vmware.com/cloud-foundati… #EdgeComputing #GitOps #HybridCloud

Some are good at one… Some are good at the other… No one is good at both. How about you? #SuccessMindset

Vandy might not ever have this opportunity again, which makes this response even more amazing! I would follow that leader into battle!
