Just got asked to give a short “elevator pitch” for my Campsite talk, and I really can’t put it any better than @mike_s_airey did back in September at #dddperth. https://t.co/lHYtKsahq5

@pwcc And I forgot to put goddamn hot sauce in my bag.
As usual, we probably went too high-concept with our Christmas party costumes. The theme was “Celebrity Safari,” and we appear to be the only ones who went for the Bojack-style celeb-animal puns. https://t.co/4bGtSN6J52
My FAVOURITE costume of the night was THIS GUY, and every time he walked past me I yelled out “HEY SETH ROGEN!” and he totally hated me. https://t.co/v2Zp6CjKFG

@boundvariable This is your curse, to recognise fonts everywhere. Mine is knitting patterns.

@jkriggins Riverdale on Netflix! It’s ridiculous but so good. π
YESSSSS AWESOME GO @GeoffreyHuntley! https://t.co/DqEQjw86rw
@glenntstephens Sorry – it’s been out for a while now! And not critical to the plot.
@jkriggins The Archie connection is superfluous, really. It’s more like Gossip Girl + The OC + Veronica Mars with a veneer of Archie.
Last month I unsubbed from ND’s fundraising emails (during debacle over policy changes to the uni health plan). And yet I still continue to get fundraising emails, some of which don’t even have an unsubscribe link. Time to get politely objectionable…
