Heading out to spend the day exploring Baltimore.

There will be crabs.

Going to Baltimore. brb

Getting nervous about upcoming talks.

Then I recall @jjg going on stage with his flies undone.

And @JasonSantaMaria falling off stage.

Looking forward to Homebrew Website Club downstairs in @68MiddleSt this evening, starting at the slightly earlier time of 6pm.

Come to the 2nd Homebrew Website Club meetup in Brighton this Wednesday:

Feeling a bit stiff today after yesterday’s fun kayaking trip.

Still giggling over the best mistyped CSS declaration ever, shared by @LotteJackson…

display: bolock;

Anyone else ever done that?

Making @LotteJackson read @SlightlyLate’s newest post after she spent ages trying to fix a problem caused by a missing vendor prefix hyphen.

24 years ago today…

Happy anniversary, @TimBerners_Lee!

Thinking it’s high time we had another Paper Camp. The first one was fun.

“What colour is teal?”

“Like the duck.”

“That’s green!”

“No, a different duck.”

One day I’ll have my own pair of Slack socks.

Really enjoyed chatting with @willsh about Interstellar, Man Of Steel, Ex Machina and Top Gun:

It’s months away but I’m already so excited about http://aneventapart.com/event/austin-2015

Everyone in the line up is one of my heroes.

Enjoyed playing this Joy Division cover again during tonight’s @SalterCane practice.

Reading an article about the relative merits of the hamburger icon, and, well, now I think I know what I’m having at @StreetDiner.

The new @dConstruct podcast episode with @ChrisNoessel might just be the geekiest one yet:

NERDS!!!

Caught an ISS/Perseid double-whammy! Score!

Going to go outside in ten minutes and look up at the ISS flying over.

Then I’ll stay outside to see some Perseids (I hope).

Looking forward to the inaugural Brighton Homebrew Website Club tomorrow evening.

You coming @PaulRobertLloyd, @GlennJones, @RosaEmerald?

Sufficiently advanced technology is already here—it’s just not evenly distributed.

The future is indistinguishable from magic.

Publishing the latest episode of the @dConstruct podcast—a thoroughly enjoyable chat with @LifeWinning

Just as the ISS was dimming and fading from view, a separate streak of light sliced across the sky—a meteor; one of the Perseids.

Watching G R A V I T Y again.

Pausing it halfway through to go outside and watch the real ISS fly overhead.

(I like that the Cooper Hewitt entry for Powers Of Ten links out to Foursquare)

Just had an impromptu showing of Powers Of Ten in the @Clearleft office.

People of Brighton: step outside at 11:17pm tonight and watch the ISS fly past.

I’ll join you.

Citizens of the internet: I would very much like to see this video…
