If you knew my old handle here, you can find me on Mastodon. Haven't "tooted" much since 2017, but my account is active.

I think “the salute” was the final straw for me. Can’t give this man any more of my time & attention, and therefore money. See you on Mastodon or Bluesky.

Outside consultants have long been a fact of life in Ottawa. But as these billion-dollar corporations have grown to become much more than accountants, they increasingly sought out big new clients: governments.

One thing that astonishes me about @USDResponse's work is that not only do they deploy incredibly talented and public-spirited volunteers, but 5% of those volunteers make the pivot to civic tech careers!

Can't wait to see this tool in the wild. Go team USDS and IRS! Proud to see this moving along.

I just received a demo of the upcoming IRS Direct File tool. The IRS has built an impressive product that will give taxpayers a secure option to file their taxes online for free. This pilot program will start small in 2024, to allow the IRS to test it and learn from taxpayers.
