April showers....

This month has been interesting. The beginning of the month saw Microsoft celebrate its 50th anniversary https://news.microsoft.com/microsoft-50/. Even Linked in last month had the 50th image https://vzimmer.blogspot.com/2025/03/33-years-in-panopticon-books-et-al.html on my LinkedIn profile.  It looks like it has reverted 

back to the MS logo now.

On one of those 'showering' April days I was able to catch a talk by the Azure core CTO 

https://www.geekwire.com/2025/platforms-ai-and-the-future-of-software-teams-are-we-seeing-a-new-era-of-human-creativity/

and grab a signed copy of his book, 

too, at the MS library.  Pretty cool.

On my way through the library today I sampled which of the firmware books were on the

shelf.  Unlike last month's sampling it looks like the fw security tome has found a temporary home for someone's reading.

I was going to elaborate in this blog sentiments on companies, AI, and especially my belief in melding the liberal arts with technical fields https://hbr.org/2024/04/why-engineers-should-study-philosophy, but not for this month. Those scribblings will continue to remain in a draft posting.

Here's looking forward to ....bringing May flowers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_shower.
