The wonderful folks at Web Directions have made available the video of the talk I gave at Respond back in March: “Responsive Ads: This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things.” I’m pretty happy with it, other than the constant up-talking which drives me up the wall. (I blame Australia for that.)

Note: I wrote this talk before the recent War Against Ad Blockers began. Crazy how much has changed in eight months!

It’s been a while since I shared a bathroom renovation update! Happily, progress has been made. The plumbing and electrical rough-ins were completed, and then two guys spent a day re-rendering all the walls. The floor was then levelled and waterproofed. A small “nib wall” was built to create room for the toilet connection. AND THEN the glorious tile got applied, and suddenly it was a room again!

Not much further to go…
