It's taken me a while to get over here from That Other Place; I suppose from some combination of grieving and denial.

I'm glad to see so many people I love and respect here already. Looking forward to reconnecting with you all!

I'm proud and excited to be re-awarded the Microsoft Data Platform MVP designation for year number six! Helping folks along their data and analytics journeys feels more and more rewarding every year. #MVPBuzz
I'm looking forward to the AI telling the college that they need to offer more AI classes.

Make sure you tell him the one about why all the ships in the Swedish navy have bar codes on the bottom...

We'll also start to find out which teams are really looking past this year to the new regulations for next season.
I think so, but note they didn't win the constructor's championship last year either.

P.S. Feels really strange rooting for a red car this year.
Happy to have F1 back this weekend!
