Made it through the keynote at @bsidessf this morning, and I’m so grateful for everyone who showed up and was supportive.

@GossiTheDog If the fundamentals were easy, we would have solved them by now. We need a lot more work in this area.

Surprise! I’ll be keynoting at @bsidessf on Sunday the 27th. Stay tuned for more details …

I do not want your Gemini,
I do not want any AI.
I do not want it in my Chrome,
I do not want it in my home.
Not in my mail,
Even on sale,
Not in my app,
None of this crap.
I do not want it here or there,
I do not want it anywhere!

@GossiTheDog I still want to call it the “Well, Actually” bug

Money quote: “Mr. Musk, who wore a suit and tie to Thursday’s meeting instead of his usual T-shirt after Mr. Trump publicly ribbed him about his sloppy appearance, defended himself by saying that he had three companies with a market cap of tens of billions of dollars, and that his results spoke for themselves.” 💥✨📉

I’m one of those #Boomers who has been in tech for over 40 years. My kids always assumed that my generation wasn’t supposed to understand tech, and one of them complained that it wasn’t fair that their dad and I knew more than they did.

I said, “Honey, who do you think BUILT the Internet?”

I'll be keynoting at Qubit Conference® in Prague on May 27th, and I haven't been to this lovely city since 1983(!). Can't wait to get back.

Five things I have done on the job today:

1. Authenticated SO. MANY. TIMES.
2. Proved that I was eligible for employment.
3. Fought with my new laptop nigh unto death, until I turned off all the text predictions and spelling “corrections.”
4. Read all 66 emails that were waiting for me in my new email account.
5. Attended 3 meetings.

Not that you asked for this, @gattaca, but I figured I’d start off on the right foot.

Woke up this morning
Wrote myself a keynote 🎶

I’m now at the point where I hate most UIs and would rather use natural language to ask for things. The problem is, I can’t trust the results, because #AI.

My kids give me the best presents
