Mazie and I went to Project Hail Mary. It was a second watching for me and her first. She isn’t the biggest movie person but loved this one and thought that Rocky was very cute.
Mazie and I had a great dinner at Khâluna. She had the Mango Fish and I had Laksa. We started with the Basil Wings (wow!). Great food and an amazing dining room to boot. Recommended!
Minnesota Technology Council
I had my first official meeting of the Technology Advisory Council a week ago. I was honored to be accepted into this group with an official appointment from Governor Walz. The role of the council is to advise Minnesota IT Services (MNIT). The group is preparing for transition with a new CIO for the State of Minnesota, and a Governor transition as well. This meeting was my first chance to see the breadth of the portfolio MNIT manages.
I’m looking forward to helping in established areas like cloud and data transformation, as well as new areas with AI deployment. I think there could also be some good opportunities to connect the State of Minnesota with the Minnesota Technology Association (MnTech) where I’m currently chair.
It took all four of us about an hour to get the canopy in the boat cover. The wind was borderline and three different times we got it on just to have it blown off. After finally getting it on we gave the boat the best cleaning ever and it is looking really good!
Fabulous show by The New Standards at The Dakota tonight. 🎶
Time for s’mores.
Evening bike ride to Dairy Queen for ice cream!
First visit to Pleasant Grove Pizza Farm for 2026! Delicious pizza. 🍕
Mazie and I taking the boat out for the season. Beautiful day!
From a chat with Claude today…
“everything else is scope creep dressed as ambition”
Statistical word model or not, that was an insightful comment.
