120... and counting

6d0b2741.jpg

Today's post by Gert Scholtz (here) got me wondering about my stats on beBee.

Since I joined last April, I am sure that Javier 🐝 beBee and Javier 🐝 beBee have spiked my coffee and created a platform that awakened the muse again.

Actually, they didn't do that by themselves, there were a lot of others that 'poke me in the ponder box' and get me thinking.

That list includes (but certainly isn't limited to):

Jim Murray, Juan Imaz, Don 🐝 Kerr, Jim Murray, Pascal Derrien, Phil Friedman, Aurorasa Sima, Don 🐝 Kerr, Wayne Yoshida, Ken Boddie, Renée 🐝 Cormier, Pascal Derrien, John White, MBA, jesse kaellis, Mohammed A. Jawad, Aurorasa Sima, Paul Walters, Tony Brandstetter, Franci🐝Eugenia Hoffman, Wayne Yoshida, David B. Grinberg, Gert Scholtz, Pamela 🐝 Williams, Renée 🐝 Cormier, Sara Jacobovici, Graham🐝 Edwards, Fatima 🐝 Williams, John White, MBA, Phillip Hubbell, John Vaughan, Dean Owen, Paul "Pablo" Croubalian, Lisa 🐝 Gallagher, Paul Walters, Aaron Skogen, @Irene Hacket, and a whole host of others.  (If I missed you... please don't be offended. I offer up my sincerest Canadian 'Sorry!')

So... Thanks to you all and welcome to my 120th post party!

If you missed any of the old posts, you can find them at https://www.bebee.com/@kevin-pashuk

If you are lazy, and just want to see my 1st post on beBee... click here.  

While this may seem self serving, I thought it was a good reason for a party... especially since the weather outside (with the wind chill) a balmy -20 degrees C.

I'm convinced that IT leadership needs to dramatically change how IT is delivered rather than being relegated to a costly overhead department.

In addition to transforming IT in my role as CIO, I look for every opportunity to talk about this... writing, speaking and now blogging on BeBee (www.bebee.com/@kevin-pashuk) , LinkedIn, ITWorld Canada, or at TurningTechInvisible.com.

Gerald Hecht, This is the true meaning of the term: Fractals forever, there's not too much science.

It's all his fault (Kevin's) :-) Kevin Pashuk, Thank you for giving us this opportunity. It's cool to be kind and "weird". How lucky we are.

#57 Fractal Bird... chirp :) No-Muzak forever and my emotional weakness again, which is typical for birds, hydrogen and academics (hugging is forbidden only because of feathers, since It may lose the colors of the rainbow and fractal weave). I am sorry Phil Friedman :-) #59 Quite comfortable even for the ostensibly "curmudgeon", I guess.

Gerald Hecht remains my favorite Fractal Bird and that you remain my very favorite authentically Mad Scientist. And that the presence of Kevin, Milos, Jimbo, Don, you and the rest of the wacky gang is, for me, a big part of that which gives beBee its unique character. Having shared that in a moment of emotional weakness, don't you dare try to hug me. Cheers!

Congrats Kevin-san. It's been quite a journey for the small band of brothers and sisters who were there on day one.

Congrats on 120 posts Kevin Pashuk, that's quite impressive! I've always enjoyed your writing and thank you for tagging me :)) I think you had us beat with the cold temps today. It's below Zero tonight... brrr! It was a nice evening to watch a few series that are back for a new season. My husband doesn't like the series I watch. Tonight was Grimm. My mother actually turned me onto Grimm and I didn't think I'd like it but it became addicting. Stay warm and look forward to many more buzzes from you!

I originally overlooked this post, Kevin Pashuk, and my vote with Milos for Gerald. Which means, Gerald and Milos, each of you is now outvoted and can stop with the polite bows and hugs. It make curmudgeons like me "uncomfortable". :-)

Thank you, Kevin Pashuk. I will continue to poke you in the ponder box, although I am doing it less lately. Congrats on your 120th post! Your muse is much more awake than my. :-) I’ll also prepare a little party when I finish my 5th Producer post. 😀 🍸🎉

'tagBlast'... works for me. It's like a special dish... only to be brought out on occasions of importance. Use it too often, and it becomes common and ineffective, or at worst, negative.

Kevin Pashuk I am going to be very cautious with any use of the word 'poke' here. Let's just say, for me you do: prod, jab, nudge, butt, shove, jolt, and occasionally stab! You know, you're kinda prolific for a raging introvert.

Kevin Pashuk You have been a silent inspiration to me on beBee and thank you for the mention here. I'm Elated :) You do poke me in the ponder box as well ! Happy 120th Keep the party on. Do I get some wine :) The buzz is getting louder here on beBee. #beBeesforever

That video is DELIGHTFUL (One of my favourite overused words in my vocabulary). That fellow in the video would be a great addition to any party.

Thanks for the like @Aurorasa... you will note that I said the list were those people who have acted as my muses ('poke me in the ponder box'). I know I could be more active in many of the comments but like many here on beBee... time on social media is fit in between so many other things. Heck, I don't even get back to the Beezers at times.

20 degrees Celcius is not that bad. Wait that was minus 20! Brrr So, where is the party? Will there be any Spanish coffee there?

Kevin Pashuk Thanks for the mention Kevin. By the way 120 kmph is the speed limit in SA - any relevance to your posts? Have a great Canadian party - on you!
