We're kicking off Adopting Bitcoin 2024 with a panel by @Dennis_Porter_ @MarkArtymko @ToneVays @khalliburton @whiteafrican after the screening of @AlanaMediavilla's masterpiece Dirty Coin.
Drove my Foundation Series @Cybertruck from Maryland to Milwaukee for RNC 2024 - assisting the RNC IT team before, during, and after the Republican National Convention.
When the worldwide @Crowdstrike cybersecurity system failure took down major airline operations the day after the convention, we used the #Cybertruck to drive RNC IT staff and equipment back from Milwaukee to DC (briefly stopping by @CarnegieMellon along the way).

The drive back to Washington DC from @MCGillU without our youngest…@SophieAlzona...was...longer... #EmptyNest #McGillParents #JeMeSouviens
(but did enjoy meeting many people at #Quebec & Ontario @Tesla Superchargers curious about the @Cybertruck before its release in Canada)
Maryland to Quebec - drove @SophieAlzona up from DC in August for her freshman (U0/1) year at @McGillU in Montreal - only needed to charge the @Cybertruck twice to get to the Canadian border #McGill #McGillUniversity #EmptyNest

100% correct - at my former state government agency, we had three major legacy systems critical to our three public missions, all either tied-to or hosted-on a mainframe run by a completely different state agency, with all legacy system modernization project management and procurement under a third state agency.
We managed to migrate one of the systems off the mainframe & to the cloud in early 2024, though it required huge amounts of time, effort, inter-agency (and inter-governmental) coordination, political capital, and career sacrifice. @DOGE
The government runs on ancient computers & software. Needs an upgrade!
Thankful for the privilege of serving nearly two years as the deputy head of a Maryland state government agency, @MarylandDAT - in my final months of service in 2024, I was proud to have initiated and coordinated my agency's response to the Francis Scott Key Bridge Disaster, working with the Maryland Department of Emergency Management Secretary & the @MDMEMA team to provide regulatory relief for affected Maryland businesses & constituents, and assist in Maryland's @FEMA Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) #KeyBridge #KeyBridgeCollapse #2024Rewind
An update on our State Activation Level: we have raised our Emergency Operations Center to "Full" in support of Francis Scott Key Bridge activities. #Keybridge #KeyBridgeCollapse
Marc Andreessen (@pmarca) & @brian_armstrong on #Crypto policy, #AI deepfakes and censorship at the @Coinbase #UpdateTheSystem Summit in March #2024Rewind
Big thanks to all who attended the #UpdateTheSystem Summit in DC.
From our partnership with @CompassCoffeeDC (showcasing seamless USDC transaction powered by @Slice__so), to panel discussions with @brian_armstrong, it was a great day.
Let's keep moving crypto (and America) forward together. 🛡️
