Used to be at Google, then DC, now in Toronto. Tackling life with @aranoff and our twin baby boys (!!).

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. 🙃

[Matt Cutts @mattcutts]

@haahr I went down a similar analysis path on /usr/dict/words, until I discovered that Wordle has a set of (common) words that can be the solution, and a (wider) set of exotic words that can be used as guesses: https://t.co/lN7Hl5aZUE

[Matt Cutts @mattcutts]

@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!

[Matt Cutts @mattcutts]

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.

[Matt Cutts @mattcutts]

I'm thankful to @aranoff for introducing me to the tradition of "pumpkin parades" on a recent date night.

The day after Halloween, many folks in Toronto bring their pumpkins to outdoor parks. It's a safe way to bring a community together and share some fun.

[Matt Cutts @mattcutts]

@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.

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: https://t.co/xJ7VCfuxDW

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.

[Jennifer Pahlka @pahlkadot]

This the kind of news that hard to explain why it is SO GOOD, so if you don't know @ClareMartorana, just trust me. This is like really really-- no, I mean REALLY -- good. https://t.co/KEbnwzExxZ

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!

[Matt Cutts @mattcutts]

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.

[TechCongress @congressfellows]

#COVID19 turned Congress into a remote institution overnight. But it desperately needs better digital infrastructure to function effectively.

We've launched a Congressional Digital Service Fellowship to help.

Four days left to apply! https://t.co/ViiP5vO5aC
