Today I put myself through the angst of talking to my camera and recording it. Tomorrow's angst is listening to myself and editing it. I'm actually becoming a little immune to the sound of my own voice.

It’s a “beautiful” day in Redmond on the MICROSOFT campus today. 🙄 Later this week - I’m gonna be sitting down with Mark Russinovich to talk about Azure & infrastructure ops. If you could ask him one question about building, deploying & managing Azure, what would it be? 

My toxic trait is saying yes to a thing then regretting that I now have to do the thing.

We are decommissioning an old WiFi network and my husband is analyzing everything that's still connected, like a madman, instead of turning it off and seeing what stops working.

Sunday and there are a lot of people not out on their boats.

Uber has declined a support request on my daughter's account on an order that was missing two items worth $5. Their reason: This order appears complete.

I love that the worst failure Artemis II has had is the sat phone once they've landed back on earth. And mission control is making sure they are using it correctly.

Splashdown! Vehicle is stable and upright. “A perfect bulls-eye splash for Integrity and its four astronauts!” #Artemis

Anyone else holding their breath for 6 minutes? #NASA

I wrote a short post-mortem on the Bluesky outage we had on Monday. First time using pckt, it was a really nice experience tbh! pckt.blog/b/jcalabro/a...

The Drasi team used GitHub Copilot CLI as a synthetic user to automatically test their tutorials, and found 18 real doc bugs. Treating doc testing as a monitoring problem is such a smart move 🧠 opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2026/04...

Both things can be true:

When I get new followers...

Pablo, my caffeine dealer, decided to choose violence today when I've had a 6am start, by tripping our power circuit. Today is NOT the day to deny me coffee. All signs point to a faulty heating element requiring professional repair (and an impact gun).

When is the end of the world scheduled, in AEST? I have back to back meetings.

We can send images from the far side of the moon, but my wi-fi still makes Netflix buffer.

my parents on the moon launch mom: why are they going to the moon dad: same reason we go to your brother in Australia- some people like going very far away to a place where you die if you go outside

Dear astronauts, if you liked losing contact with the earth for 40 minutes, I can highly recommend a 13hr BNE-LAX flight with no Wi-Fi.

I've just judged a Semifinals round for Microsoft's Imagine Cup. I love seeing ideas of how to use our technology to fix real problems or improve people's lives.

I would like to apply to be an astronaut. My qualifications are I can reboot the computers and fix Outlook.

Also I'm LOVING desktop shortcut troubleshooting and cable tidying IN SPACE.

Watching the Artemis II feed and my new fav phrase is "opportunistic science." I wanna do opportunistic science!

Public holiday. Family are coming over for dinner. 4kg of pork butt.

I highly recommend putting this NASA #Artemis II mission livestream on and just leaving it playing as you go about your weekend. Live views of the spacecraft, occasional visualizations of the current config, views of the control room, space-ground radio audio. www.youtube.com/live/m3kR2KK...

Beyond cool: the #ByteCodeAlliance #webassembly project #wasmtime is in space!! www.federation-openspacemakers.com/en/participa... is the fastest moving webassembly yet. :-) I hope to see the code soon!

I made a little Instagram reel about this image because it’s just so frickin’ cool

It's 2026 and the most cost effective way for me to buy a printer with ADF, auto duplex and refillable tanks also comes with a fax.

I chatted with my Microsoft colleagues from Foundry IQ in this new podcast: "Is context engineering the new RAG?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGpJ...

It's a long weekend in Australia for Easter so my brain is TORN between doing nothing and cleaning my house from top to bottom AND doing all the gardening. I need two long weekends.

*pause for effect* .... THE MOON

I don’t think I realized I had any latent Challenger trauma until right about now My kid’s like “neat!” and I’m like 🫣

Tonight, the Australia Prime Minister will address the country with a simultaneous broadcast across television and radio networks, to address the growing fuel crisis.

Get a stream deck, they said.

My brain wants to go to the gym and my jet lagged body is heck no we are TIRED

I did coastal studies in school & I've always been fascinated by why a beach is a particular type (sand, stone, particle size etc) - all influenced by the coastal geography. TIL we don't find as much sea glass in QLD because the Great Barrier Reef is a giant breakwater.

There's a roller coaster of emotions when you travel for work. Excited anticipation, soaking up every minute, then such a comfort to be heading home. I wish I'd had more time this week but I'm thrilled with what I achieved. Now it's time to scratch my dogs tummy again.

Watching the manosphere doco and my eyebrows have flown off my head so hard several times including in the first two minutes. If a guy treated my daughters like that ...

Petrol prices in Australia have hit $3.50 AUD a litre. That's $13.25 AUD a gallon. Or $9 USD a gallon.

I found where they make Dynamics 365.

I have the best office.

Sometimes business travel looks like working in your hotel room on a Sunday afternoon.

Sometimes you're glad you got stopped in traffic. Duvall, WA

Ok, time to be the very best passenger who has ever passengered.

It's 2026 and people are still walking away from their laptops in airline lounges .. without locking them. This is why we can't have nice things.

Do I have my passport? Yes Do I have my passport now? Also yes Do I still have my passport? Better check

Next, pack treats from your country (more underneath)
