A nostalgic photo shows a baby, identified as Terry in 1986, sitting at a bulky desk with an old-school beige computer and a landline phone. The monitor is large and boxy, surrounded by corkboard covered in papers and tinsel—classic ’80s office decor. The baby is wearing a teal jumper and jeans, with tiny hands resting on the keyboard, looking toward the camera. The image is framed with playful digital stickers like a rainbow pixel graphic, clouds, and a mouse pointer, under the text: “How it started.”
A modern, vibrant photo of Terry as an adult in 2025, smiling confidently in a white patterned shirt. The background is a sky-blue gradient with fluffy clouds and floating icons from Microsoft apps like Teams, Outlook, and Copilot, representing a modern digital workspace. Terry stands proudly under the text: “How it’s going.” The energy is upbeat and professional, showing how far he’s come from those early days at the keyboard.
Microsoft turns 50 - and its tech shaped my life. As a toddler, I sat in my mums office playing grown-up. Now I work at Microsoft, supporting global customers, including the place my mum worked at many years ago. Full circle, and just getting started. 💫 #Microsoft50 #MicrosoftLife

Another #BookSky read. Growing up in the early internet age I can see how this exposure changed me, and this book gave great insight into how things have escalated. Some great discussion points from this 📖

Hello #Putricia 🌺
Good Bob
Hello, welcome, great to have you here 😊
Welcome! Hope you enjoy yourself here. 🦋
I’ll always make myself the dummy who asks what an acronym means, but the “aaah” from everyone else in the call tells me they didn’t know either 🙃
Flying in flip flops (or “thongs” as Aussies call them) was a strange experience.

It seems that 2024 is the year that “Your year wrapped” has jumped the shark.
I’ve had my music service, SatNav, travel planner, web browser (WTH) and gym all send me jovial statistics about the copious amounts of data they gather on me.

🤣 That pic was taken after a tour of the Microsoft archives and I didn’t expect the souvenir t-shirt, so I might have been a bit over excited 🙃📎

I never want to shame someone for using a tool, but it’s best used for guidance and inspiration, not copy and paste. Keep the human in the loop.
Lots of people making videos of "Christmas party of INSERT COMPANY HERE make sure that NAME and COMPANY are shown in big bold letters on a banner in the background"
