Learn Policy!For the last year, I've been thinking about starting a YouTube channel for playing Minecraft, Satisfactory, and other games - and I finally did it! The first few episodes of Enderprise Architecture are online, where I play the new Update 6 of Satisfactory! Don't forget to like and subscribe!!!
I've been spending my downtime designing some government IT-inspired t-shirts, in line with my #govpunk concept. Folks on social media liked them enough that I've actually put them up for sale! Note that I make no money from these, I just want more weird things out in the world.
After my little post on joining government service, a lot of people asked about stickers for “Move Carefully and Fix Things." I had some made and now I want to give them to you for free! (But maybe we can also help good causes at the same time!)

2022.09.23 – Angelica Quicksey put out this compelling assessment of the current state of civic tech. A must-read, particularly for Federal staff.
2022.09.30 – The State Department is hiring CDOs for a number of its bureaus - everything from environmental policy to the UN to nuclear nonproliferation! Apply to this one posting for consideration for many! Closes 2022.10.11
