This week marks 5 yrs since USDR's founding. What began as an urgent response to COVID-19 has evolved into a sustainable model for strengthening government digital capacity
Through nearly 600 projects nationwide, we've seen firsthand the dedication of public servants and their impact on communities

My dad only has a landline; no computer or mobile phone.
He calls me to ask AI his science or history questions and I play an audio response over the phone.
So I bought him a local area number on Twilio and wired it up to OpenAI RealTime API
Now he calls that and then me to tell me AI's answer 🤣

ALF
Both from the 80s and were about an alien who crash lands on earth to be taken in by a family. Both also have cliffhanger endings with no follow-ups, as they both were canceled afterwards.
The truest of aliens from outer space conspiracies were right there all along.

I switched to Framer from a static site generator. There is a lot that I like about Framer, but I was not expecting to rely on using CMS as much. Terms, Privacy and Fair Use are all separate CMS resources (is that what it’s called?).

I’m looking to move over a growing Rails 7 / PostgreSQL / Sidekiq app to @fly.io. It looks slick. Kamal 2+DO also a consideration, but fly.io still looks simpler for my meager brain 🤷🏻♂️. I need PR preview apps. Option for multi-region support. Other stuff like backups etc.
