Bought my first fully electric car! BMW i4 eDrive40 Gran Coupé M Sport in stunning Portimao Blue.

Custom configuration order placed, production starts soon in Munich factory, delivery expected in December.

Didn't expect my first EV experience to feel like waiting for a baby 😄

It was a pleasure speaking at Google DevFest Sarajevo at the UNITIC amphitheater in front of 300 people.

Great seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones, and catching up with fellow Google Developer Experts (GDEs).

Thanks to the organizers for a great event, until next time ✌️

Last night's "Dutch Cloud Native & Al Community Group" meetup was 👌

Still processing a lot of what was shared, especially from @kelseyhightower.com

Seeing old colleagues, friends, and acquaintances ... this is what meetups are all about. Big thanks to the organizers @vozza.me & @jetbrains.com

I pride myself on spotting tech trends early, but after 7 generations, I still don't get foldable smartphone hype.

That didn't stop me from getting the Galaxy Z Fold 7 for my dad's birthday. Growing up, he bought me phones I thought were revolutionary. Time to return the favor.

Turning 40 is a milestone worth celebrating, my wife's gift to me?

VIP 1st row seats + meeting Jim Jefferies backstage on his Son of a Carpenter tour in Amsterdam 👌

Also, Amos Gill, you'll hear a lot more of him in stand-up comedy. What an opener!

Thank you all for an unforgettable night! 🫡

My Galaxy S24 Ultra had severe (sea) water damage, and even tho this isn't typically covered by warranty.

They replaced the screen, battery, motherboard, cameras ... essentially, I got a new phone at no cost. Huge thanks to the team at @sumsung.bsky.social for going above and beyond 👏
While @sumsung.bsky.social advertise their devices as "water resistant" (IP68), my Galaxy S24 Ultra died after 30s in shallow water. Warranty claim was denied for "water damage." Why encourage folks to go into water with €1500 devices if they’re not actually water resistant?🤷‍♂️

After using Fitbit for over 8 years across 3 different smartwatches for fitness and health tracking.

I've made the switch to the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025), and wow, what an upgrade!

Prediction: when ChromeOS and Android merge is when we'll get the "year of Linux on desktop".

My current GenAl routine? Ask ChatGPT, then ask Gemini the exact same thing to cross-check (and vice versa).

Can't wait for the day I can trust one Al's answer without this endless verification loop.

As a new GDE #GoogleDeveloperExperts, my first #GDESummitEMEA2025 in Berlin was an amazing experience.

The event was full of insightful, inspiring sessions and connecting with fellow GDE's was invigorating. Proud to be part of this community and excited for what’s ahead! 🌥️

We're only halfway into #GooglelOConnect, but I already had my wow moment with the "App Design Center" showcase talk by @boredabdel.bsky.social can't wait to try it! Also loved the packed "Build Al Agents with Google Cloud" session by @wietsevenema.eu | #BuildwithGemini

Just got to Berlin and got a free upgrade to the Sky Suite on the 37th floor at Park Inn by Radisson 🤩 Not a bad way to kick off my first #GooglelOConnect! 🚀

7 days later ... PS5 to PS5 Pro upgrade attempt #2 is a success 🙌

Only thing missing now is GTA 6 🙂

Tried to future proof my gaming setup for GTA 6 & upgraded from PS5 to PS5 Pro. Took a day off to enjoy some downtime ... only to find out my brand new PS5 Pro won't turn on, stuck on boot with the "blue light of death." Sending it back, no replacement. Guess I'm waiting for PS6?
