Full site update complete

But the big news today is: This is my last day at work — I’ll be retired as of this evening!

Tonight’s update takes us from roughly 20% complete (just the fundamentals) to about 70%, with the full shape of the campaign clearly mapped out. There’s enough to answer most of the ‘why’ and ‘how’ questions about the campaign.

There are too many additions and updates to list, but a few of note:

I hope to soon meet many of you in person! Keep in touch.

  • Running for Congress

    Well, I’ve certainly thought about it for years (decades) but just decided to take the plunge this week. Now the site will be shared between my campaign, and other personal things. I just put up some basic placeholder content, with a pledge to provide full material by March 6, which is the due date for final filing.

  • We have Liftoff!

    Mostly just got my intro and basic videos posted. Hit a last-minute snag with GoDaddy DNS, but their tech support got me through it. Stressful. A good reminder of engineering tradeoffs — stability vs. cost. Noted.

    Follow the campaign on this site for now. Email list sign-up coming soon, along with social media posts. Stay tuned!

  • Pushed back soft launch to Wednesday

    Found out that there’s some “extended nomination period” for this race, so I won’t have official notice that I’m a “qualified candidate” until Wednesday. I took the extra day to polish up some things. Fingers crossed no more delays. Setting up is going well, should have a decent basic set of “complete” materials by tomorrow.

  • Preparing content

    A few minor edits and clarifications are now live, with much more content coming in the next few days. Stay tuned!

  • Getting Social…

    Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone. I’ll be 65 tomorrow, celebrating with family and friends in home town Berkeley.

    I starting posting to social media, and dove right into issues around Voting (HANVA), which is a bit off base — I probably shouldn’t assume people immediately rush to spend an hour on the site. But social is fluid, I’ll post more today and later this week about the positive side of this campaign — how we can, in principle, pull back from the partisan mess we find ourselves in. That’s what it’s about, after all.

    My interview on KQNY Quincy starts airing today, check it out!

  • Filed!

    Ok, just filed my 40+ nomination signatures and other forms. Everything looks good, and I’m expecting to be officially on the list by Monday. Took the oath!

    I’m repurposing my site to focus on the campaign, with any personal bits tucked into a corner but still up. Things will be in flux as I finish putting together campaign materials, including introduction video, for Tuesday. Stay tuned!
