    Whoa. I went to school with this guy. He always wore Simpsons t-shirts. Even before I read the story, even though I haven’t seen him in probably 20 years, I saw the photo and thought, “Hey, that’s Bart-man!”


    Somehow a meme started at work today of photoshopping out your coworkers’ eyebrows. Yeah. Thanks Linh Le.



  • 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?

    Learning about creativity (and how not to be a wanker) from @tashj. #GGDSyd http://t.co/ZOUbVKwLgi


    Huh. Mozart is best for creativity. Bach and Beethoven, not so much. #GGDSyd


    RT @GGDSydney: @web_goddess rocking it @Atlassian #ggdsyd Feb meetup http://t.co/SQH4TlxZco


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


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


    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 whippersnappers… 🙂


    Anyone know Clara’s Twitter name? Her talks are always mind-blowing! #GGDSyd http://t.co/wvrFblIoCa


    “You don’t just place these vertices anywhere. They’re linearly interpolated, you know what I mean?” Clara is SO AWESOME. #ggdsyd


    If you want to learn more about the “first” banner ad, this site is fantastic: http://t.co/InSiYsLsrB #GGDSyd @tashj


    And at the other end of the timeline, here’s the Guardian’s overview of their new responsive ad formats: http://t.co/9uQviANuJ4 #ggdsyd


    @hehalana Thank you! I’am glad you found it interesting. Always hard to know how a topic like ads will be received! 🙂


    Giving a Girl Geek talk on the history, problems, and possible future of online advertising tonight.… http://t.co/IrC1BGdI5Z

    @kakaCharlotte Thanks Charlotte! Your support and enthusiasm is always much appreciated. 🙂


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

    I’d also like to point out that since I was talking about the 90’s, I dressed like it was the 90’s. Flanno, jeans, and Docs FTW.



  • 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!
