  • Rage.

    Madam C.E.O., Get Me a Coffee – NYTimes.com – Bookmarking so I can finish reading it when this RAGE BLACKOUT has passed.

  • Best AskMe Ever.

    Power pop-me-up! – powerpop music | Ask MetaFilter – Holy crap. I need a Spotify playlist with all of these songs on it NOW.

  • Linkrot diminishes us all.

    Losing the Internet You Grew Up With – The Atlantic – I think about this a lot. It’s why I maintain a blog with fifteen years of archives, as well as a fan site that’s existed for almost twenty years. We’re at the point now where that’s pretty much ancient. At what point will I have the oldest functioning blog on the Internet?

    @helarious_ Haha, just realised you said hello to me earlier! I am THE WORST at linking real people to Twitter profiles. šŸ™‚


    @tashj Thank you! I loved your talk. I felt bad about following up INSPIRING CREATIVITY with banner ads. šŸ™‚


    RT @tashj: So @web_goddess is making me laugh a lot about the history of banner adverts at @GGDSydney http://t.co/nmyz83G1WM


    @LizlingC Thank you! It was gratifying to see a few folks nodding in recognition. These whippersnappersā€¦ šŸ™‚


    Anyone know Claraā€™s Twitter name? Her talks are always mind-blowing! #GGDSyd http://t.co/wvrFblIoCa


    ā€œYou donā€™t just place these vertices anywhere. Theyā€™re linearly interpolated, you know what I mean?ā€ Clara is SO AWESOME. #ggdsyd


    If you want to learn more about the ā€œfirstā€ banner ad, this site is fantastic: http://t.co/InSiYsLsrB #GGDSyd @tashj


    And at the other end of the timeline, hereā€™s the Guardianā€™s overview of their new responsive ad formats: http://t.co/9uQviANuJ4 #ggdsyd


    @hehalana Thank you! Iā€™am glad you found it interesting. Always hard to know how a topic like ads will be received! šŸ™‚

    @kakaCharlotte Thanks Charlotte! Your support and enthusiasm is always much appreciated. šŸ™‚


    “Thanks for an awesome talk on banner ads” is definitely up there with the highest praise I’ve ever gotten in my career. šŸ˜€ #ggdsyd


    I mean, I kind of expect that phrase to be followed up with “…said no one, ever.” Right?


    @alinavan Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Definitely lots of people doing interesting things. Will be cool to see what sticks.

  • Peter Parker and the Avengers!

    Sony Pictures Entertainment Brings Marvel Studios Into The Amazing World Of Spider-Man | News | Marvel.com – Very cool. Now they just need to get the X-Men rights away from Fox so they can take part as well. Mega crossover events in films!
