Thoroughly enjoyed being the warm-up act for @JenSimmons at @AnEventApart Seattle.
I am but a John The Baptist to her Jesus Christ.
About to open up day two of @AnEventApart Seattle where I will be reiterating everything in http://alistapart.com/article/let-links-be-links

Hey @Jina, look who I’m hanging out with!
Getting worried that L. Ron @Monteiro is going to have the whole audience go Clear by the time he finishes his spiel at An Event Apart.

Make web pages.
Not too much.
Mostly HTML.
Sass, jQuery, Grunt, Yeoman …all tools to help you write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Tools change. The HTML, CSS, and JavaScript endures.

“The young in one another’s arms, birds in the trees—those dying generations—at their song, the salmon‐falls, the tempura-crowded seas…”
Today I had to set @PaulRobertLloyd straight: “tempura” is not a species of fish.
To be fair, it does sound like a kind of fish.
My other head—my website—is full of stuff that is valueless to others, but valuable to me …far too valuable to entrust to a 3rd party.
My website is my other head. It’s where I store some memories, fragments and half-formed notes-to-self.
