Where is the AI winter? It would be a good moment to take a breather.

Five minutes before feierabend and I finally sorted out some custom functions for API calls! Perfect timing to start the weekend. #PowerBI

I just submitted the most unhinged session with @powerbiferrytales.bsky.social and @gontcharenko.bsky.social. The definition of "going off the rails". I'm excited.

The design decisions made for this toy are bold.

Definitely enjoying Saturday. #MayTheForceBeWithYou

As a crap 1.5 years of work comes to an end, I find my enthusiasm returning and I kind of miss live streaming.

I'm going to start using LLM terminology for human work. For example: Boss: This work you have produced makes no sense whatsoever, it's clearly false and completely unusable. Me: Sorry, sometimes I hallucinate.

We can learn so much from these amazing AI tools.

Submitting a session for the MS Fabric Conference. Topic Options include 'Power Platform' & 'Fabric Platform'. Power BI is part of Fabric, but also part of the Power Platform. So is all the Power Platform Fabric, or just PBI? Is it all just a 'Fabric Platform' now or are there just blurred lines?

I really despise the use of 'super' as an adverb. Even worse is when people say 'super thank you'. My Christmas wish is that this stops forever.

As it's Christmastime I'm working on a nice and cheery datavis. #Datavis #PowerBI #Deneb

I'm off work until February 1st. This is the longest break I've had from work since 2011. It will be enjoyed.

Sometimes ChatGPT is a bit too on the (fake red) nose.

Post: 'Lets break this down' Me:

Anyone from the Power Platform, Dynamics 365, or Power BI world out here yet? #Microsoft #PowerPlatform #MicrosoftDyanmics #DynamicsFO #PowerBI

Hi people who know more about Fabric than me. Why has my Lakehouse been trying to generate a SQL analytics endpoint for like, two days? I can't see anything I have done to prevent it from doing this.

My daughter spent the weekend with her foot in a plaster cast because she broke her big toe. Today we take her back to the hospital and get 'Oh we let the AI diagnose and it was wrong, its not broken.' We live in an amazing time of innovation!

Over the weekend, I started recreating some of my charts in #Deneb or moving them from the Vega editor into Deneb. I'm still focusing on the encoding, before interaction, the annotation layer, etc.

Absolutely fucking brilliant.

Anyway… Here’s a visualization of all the curse words being used on Bluesky in real time. Each word is a cute fluffy little profane cloud. It’s oddly soothing. H/t @bagpuss.org #SwearSky swearsky.bagpuss.org

New merch idea. Your favourite DAX expression on a t-shirt.

DAX Rolling Average calculation.

Seeing these "Copilot in Fabric" figures in a recent Microsoft blog from Ignite made me spit out my coffee. Completely absurd to just toss out numbers like this and back it up with nothing more than hot air... #PowerBI #MicrosoftFabric #Copilot

Senior BI Consultant in charge of video security cameras...apparently.

I built a silly usage of the Bluesky Firehose just to get my feet wet and see what was possible. It's kinda fun to just watch. www.emojirain.lol

The N on my keyboard doesn't work very well. Now when I type my full name and don't check to make sure it worked, it looks like I'm trying to get people to join my family.
