@DormainDrewitz Because they expertly play with musical memories floating around your head ... tying up those vague slivers of house, jazz, funk, soul & rock memories into something that 'makes sense' to your brain. So brilliant.

Why is Daft Punk so good at what they do? Someone please explain this to me.

@akohli That’s pure Viz top tip.

Money saving tip - why pay for jalapeño or other spicy crisps? Just deseed 5-7 birds eye chillis, and have at it. Related - practice your kegels, going to the bathroom is more of a challenge.

@rseroter Good luck, Richard. Waiting for news of your next chapter eagerly. I enjoyed our work together when you were at Pivotal/VMware, I always came away smarter.

This is my last day at Pivotal/VMware. I worked with a once-in-a-lifetime group of people that motivated me to give my all, every day. We did meaningful things together, and created real friendships along the way. Tuesday, I'll share what's next. Today, I toast the team. 🍻

@pauljholden @2000AD Here’s Nicholas’ (Age 8) alien drawing .... @2000AD #wewilldraw

For anyone interested in sport, broadcasting or just great storytelling, give this a go (and let the goldfish go...) It worked like a cooling balm on my forehead.

Get in control of your @Azure environments with Policy Automation - my new @Gartner_inc research shows how ... blogs.gartner.com/richard-watson…

"Develop and enforce a container metadata policy to provide greater visibility into your services. Cross-referencing this metadata is critical to recovering the context lost in the dynamic relationship between running software and servers." from my recent: gartner.com/document/39419…
