We are asking @GovHolcomb to consider how anti-women's rights legislation is bad not only for women, but also for business in Indiana, for the tech community, and for everyone. indyhackers.org/assets/holco…
Replying to @billmckibben
We've been growing a nonpartisan climate movement in Indiana for the past two years. From all of my networking, it feels like nobody in the power centers care about Indiana (or the Midwest). It's an overlooked opportunity, and I can't seem to get anyone outside Indiana to care.

Today my dear friend, my mentor, my kindred spirit & brother in play, Bernie DeKoven, left us for the great unknown. I don't have the words to describe how fiercely I miss him, the wisest goofball I have ever known. He leaves the world a more joyful & fun place. (1/4)

Just got word that I can finally share my rejected theme song from @readyplayerone. They went with Alan Silvestri's theme, but I still want to thank Steven Spielberg & @WarnerBrosEnt for the wonderful opportunity.
