Former product manager for VMware Fusion and Workstation

Love playing guitar, stage or street acting, woodworking, growing fruit trees, making olives.
I want to use this site more but the Bluesky app is such garbage… Videos don’t load, just spin unless I force quit… when a video does manage to play, it looses all the UI to close the video. It’s been like this since day 1.
Maybe it’s me? It’s probably me.

After 16 years at VMware, 1.5 of them Broadcom, the time has finally come to move on.

I am beyond grateful to have been able to work with some of the most incredible people and communities in IT today.

No idea what’s next…

…and that’s kind of exciting :)

Got a new ‘Midnight’ MacBook Air today, and the MagSafe cable it came with is the same color… well, almost…

Videos don’t work here for me… using the iOS app, thumbnail just has a spinning wheel… anyone else?

Any good tech lists to follow? I seem to be caught in an all-politics-all-the-time sort of timeline….

I’ve been enjoying @bluesky since making the switch, I’ll probably use this as my primary platform going forward.

A forewarning, sometimes it’s gonna be tech talk, sometimes it’s gonna be cat pics 😸

Right now it’s cat pics :)

Happy #caturday!
