The one thing that really unites the American west, but in particular the Rocky Mountain West, is our independent streak. We take our rights seriously. We don’t like being told what to do by the government. I hope to contribute to this tradition in my own efforts as a citizen. I’m pleased to support a […]

We must start a #FreedomtoCompute movement based on the idea that access to computing power is a fundamental right. Math and computing power are as essential as speech. In today’s world, they ARE speech. We may speak in natural language, but the way we extend ourselves, build things, and grow as a species is through […]

Day 1587 and Wellderly
My husband’s expert testimony before Congress yesterday was a particularly exciting day even by my standards. I felt so drained today. My bar for excitement was set pretty high this spring. It has so far included impromptu drives to Istanbul, seeing our right to compute bill get signed into law, watching a founder we backed […]
I wasn’t allowed to watch much media as a kid but some exceptions were made. Frank Capra’s oeuvre was one of those exceptions. Mr Smith Goes to Washington was a classic of civic duty. And now as a Montana citizen it has special meaning to me. The film is about a naive, newly appointed United States […]

It’s a very human group and I’ve enjoyed their company for years. And as humans tend to do, the social circles that are […]

Day 1554 and Complex Coordination

If a task requires my focus and coordination it will get the sum of it. I’m not convinced anyone is particularly good at it if the […]

Day 1546 and Present Ephemera
I am backing off some of my “current thing” hyper vigilance for a moment. I need to shake off the noise and find my signal. The band of possibilities is simply so wide that it feels pointless to react. Who you are will determine everything from here. You must go into the future based on […]
It was a busy week. I felt physically well through most of it, but yesterday and today I am struggling. I’m in bed with a migraine that I think I accidentally kicked off by enjoying a quiet walk on sunny snowpack. While I prefer to have illness strike on a weekend, I feel irritated that […]
I spent several hours with my ballot last night. My husband and I engaged in scenario planning with every race and ballot initiative though we’ve been following them all closely through the year. We have done our best to get engaged in the civic life of Montana because that is our obligation as people with […]
