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!)

2022.11.01 – I generally don’t like to repost DHH, but I saw this morning that Basecamp is moving out of the AWS Cloud because it’s not cost effective for them. For those of y’all who have read my Cloudbusting and Cloud Strategy Guide articles, this should sound familiar.
2022.11.01 – With the implosion of Twitter, it’s a good time to revisit this post from Darius Kazemi on some of the philsophical aspects of running a Mastodon (or Hometown) server for your friends & colleagues!
2022.10.12 – H/t Gareth Branwyn on BoingBoing: Michael Siegel reviews the most popular spaceships from Sci-Fi and rates them. Super-nerdy and fun.
2022.11.23 – I missed this one the first time around, but this is a huge deal! The CIO of GAO is an amazing role at the center of federal government-wide oversight! Closes today!!! Closes 2022.11.24
2022.11.21 – NIH (under the Department of Health And Human Services) is looking to fill their open Deputy CISO slot! This is a supervisory role at a critically important agency! Closes 2022.11.30
