I got sent an advance copy (for some reason), and so far it’s really good!

Today I helped a colleague with some JavaScript (DOM scripting), did some proofreading and copy-editing on an excellent article written by another colleague, and made some progress on a new conference talk I’m working on.
A good day!
A feast of fish finery.

It would be disastrous (and counterproductive).
Popped into W.H. Smiths on the way into work to pick up a copy of @NetMag: I wrote this month’s cover story.
(More importantly, there’s a feature on @A_Adewusi and a Q&A with @LauraKalbag!)

You’ve got it the wrong way around. I only post on my site. The tweets (like this one) are copies, syndicated automatically.
My website is the canonical source for my notes. The copies have a link back to the source.

I moderated two panel discussions on product design at a @Clearleft event in London yesterday morning.
I loved it!
If you’re ever looking for a compere for your event, let me know.

Putting down the mandolin for the night.
Some humans can’t read some URLs.
Just because the word “some” is qualifying both nouns doesn’t mean you can cancel them out like in an equation, to give you the falsehood:
Humans can’t read URLs.

This is so good!!

Yup!
Here’s a transcript of the talk I gave at Reboot in 2006—I don’t think a conference today would want this:

I think Reboot might’ve been where we met.
That was a fun event.

Agreed! I would’ve loved to amplify other voices. Are there any posts I missed?

Then you’re back to the first scenario I outlined:
The user is left staring at a blank screen, waiting for something—anything!—to appear.

Doh! Sorry about that—should be all fixed now.
