Hey Everybody, no new interview this week, because I’ve got this kind of stuff going on. I’m getting a new roof put on and New siding on the house, so that made things a bit crazy.

I just want to take a moment to thank you for watching and if you like this channel, please think about subscribing. Most of the regular viewers of this channel are not subscribers, but subscribing can help us do more with the channel.

Everybody is fighting the Ransomware security battle, so I wanted to take a few minutes to highlight some of the interviews we have done that focus on that. I will add links up here and in the description and I will put together a playlist so you can find them easily.

Hi welcome back to Part 2 of Pure Accelerate conference coverage. 

By the Book
One of the things that came with the swag bag at the show was this book, “Flash Was Only The Beginning. The creators of Pure Storage who reimagined data storage and built the fastest growing enterprise technology company in history.

It walks through the history of Pure. Probably really for the extreme fanboy crowd, but I did enjoy the pictures. They highlight a lot of the folks who were there in the early days and have some pictures and a little blurb.

There is an old show I loved called Kung Fu, starring David Carradine. In it he plays a Shaolin monk named Caine. He flees China a wanted man to wander America’ old west, and along the way puts the hurt on bad guys picking on the weak.

In one of the flashbacks to his childhood, he sees a somewhat disheveled man collecting shards of broken pottery. He turns to his blind master and asks, “Is he a confused one?” To which his master replies, “Not to understand a man’s purpose does not make HIM confused.”
