Almost home from Frankfurt, Germany. Had a great time talking to customers, presenting a workshop, and meeting team members at the Microsoft #AITour.

And of course, had time to taste GREAT beers! Now back to enjoying family as I'm missing them so much!

I don't usually spend time on social anymore, but it's Sunday night, having a beer, kid watching TV, and few conclusions:
-Facebook and Instagram = crap
-X/Twitter = hate
- BlueSky = worth spending some time
