New-ish blog post: You need to meet Lindsay, my force of a human:

This ♥️ is for @aranoff, and so is the big squishy one in my chest.🫀

@haahr Based on /usr/dict/words, I liked TARES, COULD, then PINKY. It turns out the Wordle list drops all (?) the plural words that end in S. So putting S in the final slot was a complete waste. 🙃

@shikibmehri please tell me that TARES scores well, because that's my cornerstone based on letter frequency, plus the odds of 'e' at the fourth slot and 's' as the final letter. :)

Today was my first Canadian snow day! Thanks to @aranoff for introducing me to this beast of a winter. Tomorrow's experiment is maple syrup taffy on the snow in our backyard. 🇨🇦❤️❄️

Canadians, which bank has the best user experience (website or app that works well, strong customer service, and smooth at setting up RRSPs/TFSAs)? Which bank do you prefer and why? Thank you!

Friends, I need your suggestions. What power song gets you inspired and/or running faster? I need more + better running music. Feel free to share your whole playlist!

@aranoff I know I'm a holiday or so behind. I often am.

@aranoff @RojoPup @RojoPup responds well to positive affirmation, and this picture is a good reminder. Thanks for sharing this. :)

Amazing: Mina Hsiang will be the next leader of the U.S. Digital Service. She's experienced, incredibly capable, and cares deeply about the work. I'm so excited for USDS, her, and the future. What a great time to apply to serve:

Now that I no longer have tons of meetings, it was nice to look through photos of the last two years together with @aranoff. My faves are the silly ones and dog pictures. I hope you get to take some time to reflect on the people and things that make you feel happy today.

At the end of April, I'm stepping down as Administrator of the U.S. Digital Service. It's such an incredible group of people, and I'm grateful for my time working alongside them. More info:

Huge congrats to @ClareMartorana on becoming the next Federal CIO. She's kind, empathetic, and cares most about getting good things done for people. I couldn't be more excited about Clare taking on this role.

Black lives matter.

@sequoia @Tracy_Young @ralphleon @rsuttong @PlanGrid @autodesk @dougleone Does anyone know if the PlanGrid shares qualified for Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) treatment? Asking for an accountant.

@UdayaPatnaik @CAgovernor Congratulations Udaya! That's fantastic news! I'm looking forward to the work you'll be doing for Californians!

These fellowships bring technical expertise into Congress, which is hugely important and impactful. I hope that USDS alumni and civic tech folks will consider applying.
