I came home from Fabcon & SQLCon and found my family had bought Andes mint cookie crunch thins. It is mint, chocolate, and Oreo cookies (probably not Oreo because they didn’t license them, but it taste like Oreos) I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, THESE ARE ADDICTIVE!! STAY AWAY!!!

If you are wondering, what is Fabric IQ, why should we use it, how do we use it, and what can it do? Then this is for you! I applied my knowledge of agents to understand actions we could take, Chris added insight on ontologies & how they benefit us, Mark & Dan followed up with great questions.

This is a really weird weather day for Florida. When I woke up to get my daughter off to school this morning at 6 AM it was 71° outside. Now at 10 AM it is 58° outside. The sun is up, and it’s getting colder outside. I’m not saying I don’t enjoy it, just really weird. #Florida
