    Some news: yesterday, appointed me to be California's Chief Technology Innovation Officer. I was sworn in this morning, and am now part of the family. Could not be more excited by this opportunity to serve the state of California.

    Want to take a moment to thank the team for acknowledging and (quickly!) addressing my tweet this morning. Government CX isn't just a web experience. It's also meeting and engaging with people where they are.

    Listening again to this staggeringly great album. Bonus: is performing at The Greek with Andrew Bird and Iron & Wine in June. ‼️

    Signed vinyl from arrived last week, and it may be the perfect foggy Sunday morning listen. Just a brilliant record.

    More data: "Of the 178 highway shootings handled by the CHP in 2021 only 11%, about one in 10, ended with any kind of arrest. The rate was similar in 2019 and 2020."
