Brandy is running for office!

For those who don’t already know… My wife Brandy is running for local office! Specifically, she is running for Snohomish County Fire District 1, Commissioner Position 3. Check out her candidate statement on her temporary campaign website. (She’s working on a more complete site, I quickly threw that one together for her as a starter site to have something up right away.)

This is a non-partisan position. There are five candidates in the primaries. The top two move on to the general election. The incumbent is David Chan, who got into trouble a few months ago for some comments about Mexicans he made during an official meeting.

Ever since the 2016 election… actually before, but it accelerated afterwards… Brandy has been increasingly engaged politically, and looking for places to make a difference. She’s been connecting with all sorts of people locally, and was urged by several to run for this position. It is her first run, but she is learning quickly. Win or lose, I’m pretty sure she intends to be actively engaged in things going forward.

If you are in the local area and want to know more or to help out, let me (or her) know!

I guess this means we’ll be investing in lawn signs and such soon… :-)

18:02:04 I’ve been on a work call for the last hour+, time now to catch up on what I missed from WWDCвЂ¦ :-)
18:07:49 Catching up with WWDC using the MacRumors Summary: https://t.co/L5lUToFvNO
18:09:42 WWDC like: Kill video autoplay. Yes, thank you very much. One of the most annoying things out there.
18:11:08 WWDC like: Optimized iMessage storage. HUGE for me. I *NEVER* delete texts, want complete archive. Messages currently 50GB on my phone.
18:13:31 WWDC Like: Control Center back on a single page. The multi-page Control Center was SO ANNOYING
18:15:45 WWDC Miss: Interesting live photos updates, but what about automatic animated GIF creation for sharing with non-Apple? Or did I miss that?
18:18:39 WWDC Like: Do not disturb while driving. I try to be good, but I am often temptedвЂ¦ more support to resist temptation is good.
18:29:03 WWDC Meh: New app store. App store definitely needed some fixes and updates. Discoverability sucks. Not sure this is the right fix.
18:40:48 WWDC Wait and See: AR still seems like a gimmick. Waiting to see real apps/games where you want to keep using it after the 1st few minutes.
18:56:40 WWDC Like: The iOS 11 features for iPad. Almost makes me want a new iPad again. My wife considering iPad instead of laptop this year.
19:18:52 WWDC Meh: Home pod. I still just don’t get these kinds of things. I know some people love them, but I’m not there yet.
