Note archive: February, 2015

It warms my heart that I share my birthday with such awesome people as George Harrison, @Han, @teleject, and—of course—@wilto.

I just now noticed the cake that the hotel have kindly/creepily left for me.

But I’ve sitting here for an hour.

I have cake blindness.

Updating the talk I’m giving at #AwwwardsBCN tomorrow: it’ll be one slide that reads “What @PhilHawksworth Said.”

Barcelona, I am in you.

Channel 5 is showing War Games and Top Gun. It’s like the nerds vs. the jocks. You must choose a side.

(I’m watching War Games.)

Phew! That was a close shave!

Seeing Oliver Jeffers work on screen at The Story is reminding me of that lovely tale he drew for us in The Invisible Dog at Brooklyn Beta.

On the train to London with @qwertykate to go to The Story.

Had a really good natter with @cackhanded. I need to do that more often.

Tonight’s @AsyncJS at @68MiddleSt—a show’n’tell—looks like it’s going to be a good one:

At the Dukes At Komedia to watch Ex Machina.

@AdamRutherford’s tweeting must’ve finally got to me.

Standing outside, watching a bright ISS fly across a crystal-clear sky, @WordRidden and I see a fireball of a meteor to the southeast.

Many thanks to the employee at the Churchill Square Apple Store who got the lint out of my iPhone’s charging port. Now it’s as good as new!

Ridiculously happy that @RosieCampbell and @AaronGustafson will be speaking at http://responsiveconf.com

Watching @StevenBJohnson on TV in Chicago and remembering being there then:

Oh, for crying out… I missed the @SpaceX launch because I was watching a documentary about the space shuttle.

Something something irony.

Recounting the history of the box model—& thus the history of web standards—to @lottejackson.

Feels like I’m in A Canticle For Leibowitz.

Returning home from Hackfarm, travelling across the country like a journey through time, back to civilisation and an internet connection.
