Update: Post-Surgery Journey and Exciting News from Schiphol Airport

Hello everyone! It's been 6 weeks since my last blog update. For those who might not be up to date, I had an amazing 2-week holiday in Majorca with my family, followed by my Gastric Bypass surgery. The recovery has been progressing well, although it's a whole new experience in terms of eating and digesting food. I've been eager to be active and do more than my body currently allows, which can be frustrating at times due to lower energy levels from the changed food intake. On the bright side, I've already lost over 10 kilos and more to come!

During my time off, I received a surprising email from Schiphol Airport. You might wonder, what does this have to do with Azure content? Turns out, they noticed the Whiteboard Architecture magnets I created in the past and wanted a set for their Architects!

This reignited my inner designer. Thanks to one of the Architects at Schiphol, who is also a fellow MCT in my community, the word spread like wildfire. Several MCTs and Azure enthusiasts have since reached out, requesting sets of magnets for their trainings or client sessions.

Here's a glimpse of what was already made:

But what about the new additions? Let's explore the latest in the collection!

Expanding the Magnet Collection: New Additions!

With the growing popularity of the existing magnet collection, it was only a matter of time before more requests came in, asking: "What about x, y, z?" Given the wide distribution of the current magnets and the resurgence of my passion for design, I've been inspired to create new additions to meet these requests. This meant not only revisiting some classics, like the Azure Logo, but also developing a variety of new designs.

🌟 New Additions to the Collection:

• Microsoft 365
• Dynamics 365
• Power Platform
• GitHub
• Azure Application Insights
• Power BI
• Azure OpenAI Services
• Azure MySQL Database
• Azure Front Door
• Azure PostgreSQL Database
• Azure Application Gateway
• Azure Container Apps
• Azure Cache for Redis
• Azure WAN Gateway
• Azure Arc
• Windows 365 Cloud PC

Each of these new magnets brings a unique element to the collection, broadening the scope and usability, especially for those in the tech and cloud community.

What's next?

As I continue my recovery journey, the enthusiasm for the magnet collection keeps growing! I'm excited to announce that new collections are on the horizon. Stay tuned for more updates and designs as this ever-expanding collection continues to evolve and bring fresh, innovative concepts to life. Keep an eye out for the next wave of creative and inspiring magnets!
