“Proud to be an American” by Lee Greenwood


I went to boot camp shortly after the first gulf war. They played this song toward the end of boot camp after we did something grueling (as grueling as Navy boot camp gets at least) and every man in our company cried like a baby. It was amazing, it brought us all together, and there was a very diverse cross section of our country there.

I also got to see Lee Greenwood sing the song on the flight deck of the USS Kitty Hawk during a televised concert on TBS.
Going to California by Led Zeppelin is my favorite song of all time. I don’t really have a most hated.

I've managed a long career fully based on Microsoft technologies. I've had a few hiccups here and there, but nothing remotely that made me want to say this. What happened to make you get here?

DFW too.
Google released Gemma 4 open models recently.
I think expensive SAAS platforms will be hit pretty hard. A lot of companies pay huge subscription costs for a CRM like Salesforce and they only need a small percentage of the feature base.

Thanks! I brought my daughter and we had a great time in Stillwater.

Saw them in Stillwater on Saturday for the first time in 20 years. They were good although they had sound issues.

The biggest takeaway for me is you never want to follow Turnpike. They are so damn good.
It was really great. The new one is called Company Retreat. It's good, but not quite as good as the original.
You think a Chaplain and a General from a training command are in charge of sending in the ground forces?
There are over 4,500 people aboard Ford. There is no way a cover story would work. Seriously, you have to know that or are you just trolling with all of this?

It should be zero.

I would be loving it if I was an LSU fan. No shade from me.

Yes, it needs 8-10 feet of ball flight.

There's a documentary on Netflix about RHCP and I learned quite a bit about Flea. It was really good. I'll have to check this album out.

Yes, Tableau & Power BI; however, due to licensing costs, they don't allow citizen development


Sorry to hear that. This has been my background for many years, and I have always promoted access to anyone who needs it. PowerBI Pro is just $12/mo (included with E5 license) and with semantic models, everything is calculated correctly, no matter the dimensionality or timespan.
Does your company not have a standard BI tool?

It’s only a fringe world view in that tiny bubble the media lives in.
My first concert. They opened up for Starship at Six Flags. That entire Play Deep album is great. They’re my favorite 80s band.
