We help New Yorkers access information & use technology.

We are a #civictech organization improving the lives of New Yorkers through #opendata, public interest technology (#pitech) & service design. We want New York’s governments to work for the people, by the people, for the digital era.

Our work equips individuals and local communities to build a civically engaged technology ecosystem and provide for an honest and inclusive government.

Mostly, but not entirely, urban.
Mostly, but not entirely, birds—which are, of course, dinosaurs.

I'll just copy my #introduction post

I'm new to social media.

If I had the choice between getting 10 k followers, or 1 friend, I'd pick the friend. So, if you want to talk about a topic I post about, then let's talk.

I like #Aerospace (mostly the #Space), #VideoGames, #OpenSource, #Urbanism, #Electronics, and #Indie art (e.g., #GameDev, #Writing, #FanFiction, #Illustration, etc.).

I also like "tone indicators", and Markdown.

I won't be posting anything that could be used to identify me.

As @SRLevine puts it: "Favorite stars don't cost money and can make someone smile (or at least feel seen) so I use them often. I'm not being weird at you specifically, I'm being weird at everyone."

That said, boosts = marriage proposals.
