Trying out the Tapestry from @Iconfactory and super impressed. That is the best feed reader so far and makes reading feeds again a joy. Also with a new Loom allowing to create custom connectors to create feeds for pages that do not have feeds, it is a great new tool in my toolbox.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Brian Beeler at Storage Review in Roseville. We reviewed the HPE XP8 Enterprise Storage array and the industry-unique accomplishment of zero downtime for 10 years across the entire installed base. Check out our walk-through on Youtube

When driving along the coast North of San Francisco, Oysters are a must. Love to stop at Tony’s Seafood in Marshall, CA for their fresh Tomales Bay oysters and amazing seafood.

Went to see some of my favorite wineries DeLoach, Buena Vista and Korbel in California’s wine country. Always fun to go and taste their great wines and champagne.

No idea too small: Entrepreneurs inspire world-changing innovation - Shopify shared today how solving the planet’s most complex problems often starts with one person or business and featured Tico Coffee Roasters showcasing how we are making a difference by innovating for change.

Taking a stroll in the neighborhood and enjoying a perfect fall day in the SF Bay Area. So nice to see the trees changing colors.

Spending a gorgeous day in Half Moon Bay, cooling off from the heat in the Bay Area. Finishing off the day on the coast with a great meal at Sam’s Chowder House in El Granada.

What a beautiful night at Mt. Hamilton tonight. Clear skies and so many stars. Also a really warm night after such a super hot day in the Bay Area.

It was a great honor to speak at the Connect NonStop Technical Boot Camp 2024 in Monterey, California, and share the latest features and the benefits of using HPE XP Storage with HPE NonStop systems as external storage. Also great to meet so many NonStop users. #Whova

Fun Oktoberfest event today at Gordon Biersch Brewing Company in San Jose. Great beer, good food and fun people!

Have never seen that many sea lions in the Monterey Bay Harbor. I was told they have right now about 10,000 of them here. It feels like a scene out of a science fiction movie. #monterey #nature
