wow, that is indeed one expensive choice! But, as I'm sure you've long since realized, a good one.

Good Lord, I think we might have a winner. That's absolute genius! Here in Washington state, I might be able to get the proper written form of that license plate: CHECKM8

That is indeed perfect and if you don't get off your lazy arse and check availability with the WA DMV while multi-tasking on tomorrow's Teams meetings/chat and general work fun I'm going to have to start questioning the intelligence factor.

By the way just checked (pun intended) and the plate is available here in AZ. I also checked stock at my dealer but they do not have any M8C coupes but rather only M8 convertibles. Otherwise I would have explained to my wife how I was going to trade in my M850i this week for a M8C coupe because a cool vanity plate is available for it. Pretty sure she would have laughed me out of the room.

GR8T PL8!

But I do love the organic process that got us to FAT4ANM and that has it by a nose for me.

I didn't really like the way the words looked when they were put together... in NY if its only 6 characters you can get a completely custom plate.. I would went with a nascar plate.. but I liked the plate a lot better with the space. you got ALOT of great suggestions.

So for a recap of the week I personally deployed a COVID-19 chat bot leveraging the MS Healthcare chat bot (built on the Azure Bot framework) and got it into production. I also helped our SCCM team deploy the new cloud based (once again leveraging Azure) modern endpoint management solution to handle patching for all of our end user laptops that based on their needs do not join the VPN. Throw in the oversight on instructing our Intune resources to implement conditional access policies to lock down our O365 environment to only corp AD hybrid joined devices. I won't mention what I did on the "other" cloud to protect the innocent.

That said did you check on CHECKM8 with the WA DMV? If not I'm sure your week was jammed fulled as well I'm just busting your balls.

That's some good stuff right there. I'm working on Update Mgmt and Guest config tech right now so an interesting overlap. I'm beginning to think we should actually connect on a business level, too. Shoot me a mail on dean[at]microsoft[dot]com if you're interested in joining a preview program.

Ah hah, I actually sent it in. They request 3 options, mine were:
1. FAT4ANM (our Aussie friend nudged it back to the top)
2. CHEK M8 (CHECKM8 was taken)
3. MMMMMM8

10-4 and will do as my gig is to drive Technology & Innovation transformation if I have to put hands on the keyboard myself to do so. Ironically I just joked with the CIO yesterday regarding an elevator pitch on my role for a board meeting next week (thankfully in this gig I get a pass on that headache). I said I can sum it up in 7 words, i.e., "fight the FUD and get shit done".

I did have to present at a board meeting last October but was filling in for the CISO whom was out due to a surgery. Security is job 1 at all times in everything I drive and hence the CISO is one of my closest allies so given I was knowledgeable on everything I became the sacrificial lamb to present. I nailed it but since I had only been on the job 2 months at that point I still am the mystery man in their eyes.

I'm down for #2 and #3 but figured the possible translation of #1 being "FAT4ANaughtyMan" that one was dead and buried.

Thanks to ozzie for triggering that train of thought.

Strangely quiet on the limeypride plate front. Did the DMV requests get approved? Have the plates gone into production? Or have they been fitted?

Will we get some answers or will this become limeypride plategate?
