A quirky guy.
I'm into board games, books, raccoons, and cats that look like raccoons.

Heck. Yeah!

A group of technologists, formally of the U.S. Digital Service, now DOGE, have resigned in response to having their skills used to compromise the integrity of core government systems.

Source: New York Times: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...
Screenshot from a New York Times article. It reads: "A group of 21 civil servants with technology expertise resigned on Tuesday rather than help implement an array of changes to the federal government being pushed by the billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency. The government employees had worked for the U.S. Digital Service, a technology-focused unit housed in the executive branch, that had been rebranded by Mr. Musk and President Trump as the United States DOGE Service. The resignations pared the unit, which had already been reduced by layoffs, by roughly a third. “We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans’ sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services,” the resigning group wrote in a letter addressed to Susie Wiles, Mr. Trump’s chief of staff. “We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimize DOGE’s actions.” The resignations, which were reported earlier by The Associated Press, come as Mr. Musk and his allies have begun to radically reshape the size and scope of the federal government, engaging in layoffs, ending contracts and attempting to shutter entire agencies. Most recently, Mr. Musk created confusion for millions of federal employees by issuing a directive ordering them to detail what they had worked on during the previous week as a condition of keeping their jobs. Several Trump appointees ordered employees at their agencies to ignore Mr. Musk’s directive, even as workers received contradictory information about whether they need to comply with it."

Wingspan Asia.

Wingspan is one of my favorite cozy games, and I'm a big fan of the Asia expansion. The Duet mode spices up the two-player gameplay, and the more compact size of the game makes it perfect for bringing with us wherever we go!

A cottage getaway. Going to put the devices away and focus on warm fires, cozy clothes, good books and board games.

Something I want to spend more time on this year is reading. I am off to a good start with four finished books in January.

Ascension is definitely worth reading if you are craving more cosmic horror blended with speculative fiction.
