The Warehouse, the birthplace of house music, received a final landmark recommendation from the landmarks commission. The West Loop building at 206 S. Jefferson St. was a dance club in the '70s and '80s where DJ Frankie Knuckles created a genre that gained global popularity.

Yesterday was my last day as the Chief Data Officer of the State of California. I started just before the pandemic and lockdown and have a few reflections on my time in this role.

@ElizAyer @apetersen @wslack @wrightmartin @danachis @18F +1 to the cupcake 🧁 metaphor for explaining mvp. Where I get confused is when people mix in the “slice of functionality” concept with the mvp cake. Different ideas, no?

In so many unrelated circles people have said to me in the last month or 2 - they are having what I’ll call “post pandemic life crises” en masse re-orientation to life goals, questioning career, relationship etc. as we adjust to post-pandemic phase of life. What do we call this?

@digiphile Look this is too bad but I’ll share, brigades began as a decentralized volunteer network / ultimately local groups. While this reduces funding/direct support from THIS source, the last 10 years catalyzed groups to exist. What’s the next chapter look like? Opportunity in disguise?

@SarahSchacht @USDS @18F Woman in tech here; what Boyce and others said, it’s all about those tables (easy to share!) If hired at GS15 level and you live in dc, you’ll make 155k - 183.5k in 2023. Note this goes up every year and changes depending on step and location. But that’s the basic range now.

In 1929 you could take the train directly from NYC to Cape Cod. It’s enough to make you bitter.
