Congratulations, @ClareSutcliffe MBE!

Lesson learned—when ordering a drink of porter in the States, I need to pronounce my Ts as Ds: “pôrdər”.

See also: glass of “wôdər.”

Ba-doom sith!

It snowed and snowed on Hoth, but Santa never came—what did that make Luke, Han, and Leia?

Rebels without a Clause!

Went to see The Force Awakens for the second time.

Enjoyed it even more.

On agile…

I love this kind of open discussion.

FIFTEEN MINUTES UNTIL THE FORCE AWAKENS!!!

I am positively aquiver with excitement and anticipation!

Wondering if @StationCDRKelly greeted @astroTimPeake, @astroTim, and Yuri with bread and salt.

Forget semantic versioning—I like @LyzaDanger’s Service Worker using deities from Greek mythology.

Starting to think that @AllMarkedUp used Killgrave-like mind-control powers to convince half of @Clearleft to get blotto last night.

Really, really enjoying @BrianKardell’s ongoing web history series—can’t wait for part three.

Well, our @GeekestLink quiz team—Batmandalorian vs. Supermandalorian—came third …but then again, the team was just myself and @wordridden.

Heading out to The Caroline Of Brunswick for the Star Wars special @GeekestLink.

Who wants to be on my team?

People make lovely things—code, stories, ideas—then they share them on their websites, saying “Here. You can have this.”

I love that.

Today I’m linking to—and thanking—@LeaVerou, @Genmon, @Jack_Franklin, @Heydonworks & more…

I really, really enjoy our Thursday afternoon front-end pow-wows at @Clearleft.

image-set() in CSS seems to be working pretty well in all the browsers that support it …I wonder when they’ll drop the -webkit prefix?

This is a rather lovely moment from 43 years ago: http://apollo17.org/?t=000:02:30

Like kids on a rollercoaster.

It’s Homebrew Website Club in @68MiddleSt this evening after work—be there and be square.

Looking forward to Homebrew Website Club, 6pm-7:30pm tomorrow in @68MiddleSt—happy to chat about Service Workers, AMP, POSSEing to Medium.
