Taing a moment to celebrate a pretty awesome milestone... youtu.be/yg_VmedVuuY – at Wellington City, New Zealand
Hey @AirbnbHelp @Airbnb - you know what is really crap? Booking acocmodation in October, and talkign to the host since only to check in in March and be told "no, we have a booking on booking.com so we won't honor your booking." Doesn't exactly lend itself to trust...
Been listening to @AcquiredFM for years. Stoked to be in the front row to see the guys at #AWSreInvent2025
Seeing two execs on stage at #reinvent2025 - one who has done 12 months at @awscloud and one who is new. MyPOV: there is a steep learning curve to be comfortable articulating the AWS line... / #reinvent
MyPOV: Obviously @julwhite is a seasoned exec, but this year at #reinvent2025 #reinvent she has really found herself and is articulating things very clearly. / @awscloud
Two very very different individuals passed yesterday. Both unique, and both mighty totara in their own way. Z"L
Stoked to finally be an investor in @substack - congrats in the raise, @hamishmckenzie
A fable for the fractured... A reply to Greta Thunberg

It's just so hard to hear "Oracle" and "Cloud Provider" in the same sentence... PTSD from years of Cloudy FUD, I guess....
Oracle speaking at #FinOpsX reminds me distinctly of @IBM speaking at CloudConnect circa 2008 and simultaneously suggesting cloud was a huge rise and a no-go for enterprises and also that they (IBM) had the best cloud ever. #clouderati vibes
Really interesting hearing from @salesforce around how the board and C-suite give direction to IT spend and budgets and how IT feeds up to help the leaders planning #finopsx
