Week Notes: July 19, 2020

Employment!

I’m starting work sooner than I thought! Come July 27th, I’ll be a part of the Privacy Networking team in the Core Systems product area at Google. I have no idea what this means, but in 8 days I’ll know. Very excited to end my long vacation and start thinking with a purpose again!
