Just under a 10k for morning training run. Crazy how your body adapts and this isn't as big a stressor as the first one I did few weeks ago for my 10k race. #HalfMarathon here we go!

Immerse yourself.​ ​ Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition (with 3 months of Xbox Game Pass) is here for a limited time only: xbx.lv/469fGJS

I've seen Mermaid diagrams multiple times but never really understood how to build or update them. 📊 Spending time today (fix hack learn week) going through tutorials and learning more 😀 mermaid.js.org/intro/gettin... FYI, I had no idea you can do pie charts, mind maps, Gantt charts, and more 😮

Testing out GitHub Copilot for first time as part of a Fix Hack Learn week at work. At first it wasn't apparent to me that premium models use up a message quota per month. Now I see it in the UI (perhaps a recent update). Good to know for future tasks as testing out various models.

I just backed Big Hops - a fresh and froggy action-platformer on @kickstarter.com <-- 24 hours left to go www.kickstarter.com/projects/chr...

First time in I don't know how long when I've gotten my work inbox to 10 or less (without declaring email bankruptcy). No guarantees that it will stay this low, but tiny celebration before the weekend.

A sneak peek into a little thing I'm announcing tomorrow (free of charge): Honestly great for new managers and ICs looking to become managers. maven.com/p/dd7c4a/5-c...

I spent less than 20 mins trying out #MicrosoftGraph, MCP, and VS Code. I don't say this often but I was BLOWN AWAY at what felt like black magic. Will share more after I have a chance to dig in during "fix hack learn" next week.

If you need good mix of upbeat and background tunes before going into the weekend, highly recommend this playlist that I've used regularly on shuffle for over a year now. Board Games and Chill open.spotify.com/playlist/2FP...

Some days you just need to clear the morning schedule, put on calming piano music, and tackle the "too many times delayed" items on To-Do list. Also trying to spread some positivity amidst the many negative situations going on. How can you be kind to someone today?

🚀 Proud to share what me and my team have been building: Microsoft 365 Copilot connectors for people data! It’s all about bringing richer, unified people insights into Copilot and Microsoft 365. Check it out 👉 learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/... #Copilot #GraphConnectors #PeopleData #Microsoft365

Big things coming

Finish time 1:14:22, just under 12 min / mile! Way faster than my goal of 13:30 per mile. Very happy with results 😁

Columbus 10k, let's do this! 🏃

All of our 2025 sessions are now available on YouTube! Check them out here (full playlist - over 60 sessions): www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Mozilla is shutting down Pocket on July 8th, 2025, but users will be able to export data until October. Originally an independent browser extension called Read it Later, Pocket was acquired by Mozilla in 2017. support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fut...

After missing the previous week, had a successful training run getting closer to 6 miles. Happy with the increased stamina and faster recovery afterwards. #HalfMarathonTraining

Google dropped A2A, an open protocol for cross-agent comms — and now Microsoft’s on board. 🤝 That means AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, LangChain, even Copilot Studio agents can talk to each other. Azure AI Foundry + Copilot Studio support is coming soon. 🔗 www.microsoft.com/en-us/micros...

My nephew was visiting this weekend and we watched The Rescue (National Geographic, Disney Plus). About the Thai soccer team trapped in a cave back in 2018. Very emotional story but recommended. youtu.be/raVceiFQSjw

Finally getting the chance to meet @sinclairinat0r.com in person at @stirtrek.com today! Look forward to the next time.

Lunch is coming up soon at #StirTrek. Great conference so far.

It's #StirTrek day! Excited for all the sessions, catching up with friends, and community building!

So great to see folks tonight ahead of @stirtrek.com tomorrow. Looking forward to the day ahead and all of the great community, session, sponsors, and more! 🚀🙌

Did you know that you can now build @microsoft-copilot.bsky.social/ #Copilot agents with #TTK that uses people data in #Microsoft365 for grounding and reasoning! learn.microsoft.com/en-us/micros...

Extra effort the last few weeks to practice more, reached the diamond tournament and placed 5th on Duolingo in the finals

Great training run, first one over 5 miles. On track for 10k and half marathon later this year.

Should be a great day of Azure in Columbus!! Global Azure free community conference! meetu.ps/e/NYbqq/1NDj... #Azure

Last 24 hours I've been a networker (not my norm). Every work meeting (sometimes multiple times in a meeting) I'm introducing people across different teams / orgs. -"You mentioned X, have you talked to A and B on work they are exploring...?" -"So and so would appreciate your insights on this..."

I never played the original Oblivion (or other Elder Scrolls games), but almost done with Avowed (loving first play through) and looking forward to giving this a go afterwards.

Appreciate all of the feedback and hard work that has gone into these upcoming updates to #M365DevProgram. Especially useful that a top requested feature coming to be able to purchase additional subscriptions or licenses within these sandbox dev tenants. Read the latest and stay tuned for updates!

Thank you for sharing this video 🙏 I just heard the sad news this morning of his passing, but wonderful to see he visited publicly yesterday on Easter Sunday. Will be praying for him and those tasked with electing our next pope.
