Well, we had a fantastic event at Knowledge12 earlier this week. As always, I had a chance to meet and talk with many customers, partners, and colleagues – learned a lot, and hopefully helped a few people. I presented at one lab (on “field normalization”) and helped with four others. These were all really great labs – we got lots of positive feedback and enthusiasm from the attendees. I was overwhelmed with the size and polish of the event – it no longer feels like amateur hour; instead, it looks like something put on by Microsoft or Oracle. Totally awesome!
Right after the event, I hopped on an airplane for the U.K., where I'll be meeting with a bunch of our customers this coming week to talk about our Discovery and Runbook products. I arrived early Saturday morning, which means I had the weekend to decompress a little after Knowledge12. If you know me at all, you know that my idea of decompression normally involves walking and nature. I'm staying in Twickenham, which is just a few minutes by train from Kew Gardens, and that's where I've spent the bulk of the past two days. I brought my Fujifilm X100 over with me, and I took over 600 photos in the gardens. The rock gardens, alpine house, rhododendrons, azaleas, bluebells, and Paulownia collections were my favorite parts – though the entire gardens are so beautiful that it's hard to choose. Just a few of my favorites below...
