Aral Balkan:
Looking forward to chatting with the Leap folks in a few minutes. It’s just awesome :) http://t.co/aBV2kPT8
Aral Balkan impressive, but isn’t that an ergonomic nightmare?
Drew McLellan:
Four years ago today, I married @rachelandrew. For the record, she’s still awesome.
Drew McLellan @rachelandrew happy anniversary!
Nick Charlton:
Last week I got carbon fibre in my finger. Today, it was a piece of high speed flying brass.
I probably shouldn’t buy a laser anything.
Nick Charlton ooh, flying brass sounds painful. What was it making it fly?
.Jeremy Keith you're wrong! Twitter have done us all a huge favour by preventing the zombie apocalypse: http://photos.waterpigs.co.uk/p/ps

James Whittaker:
If you are building a product take a screenshot on every release for posterity. Looking back shows just how far along you have come.
@jmwhittaker Aral Balkan even better, make a time lapse of the website. Pefect use of version control :)
Jack Way approximately 34,300 tracking attempts blocked in ~5 months. The max I’ve ever seen per page is ~20, average of ~5.
Nick Charlton I haven’t given it a go yet. Better than Shadow/Edge Inspect?
Drew McLellan alternate so as to count from 0 to 3 in binary. Your dominant eye is the MSB
Drew McLellan ken-oo-tuth, with compulsory eyebrow raising on the “oo”
Tom Morris:
Someone's responded to my blog post in Russian. http://t.co/JnREAZWR Google Translate isn't really helping me understand it. ;-)
Tom Morris I especially like the translation of “prick” to “woodpecker” ;)

Aral Balkan:
You know what runs on any screen, every device? An API. The future isn’t cross-platform UIs, it’s continuous client experiences.
Aral Balkan and as usual, the future is the past, with extra bits on — a return to true REST and no more http abuse
I really regret not having used version control over the entire lifetime of my site, I’d love to make a time lapse /cc Jeremy Keith
Aaron Parecki:
Looking at #opensource alternatives to Google Analytics. Anybody tried http://t.co/JCWexJnD or... #indieweb http://t.co/GKonCjpC
Aaron Parecki I use and enjoy Piwik. Real-time analytics is great and the API can be really useful too. In fact I don’t use it as much as I’d like to.
Aral Balkan:
Because @brightoncomedy’s online form is crap and keeps rejecting my order, I phone @brightdome & get told there’s an additional fee. #fail
Aral Balkan just tell them you’ll pay the extra fee, provided you can deduct 20% inconvenience tax
Aral Balkan:
… Beauty of that interaction is it has authenticity, substance, a story. It feels real. The app becomes a solid object to #play with. #xd
Aral Balkan the other interesting effect I get is an increase in perceived productivity. Closing an app via multitouch instead of physical button seems a more fluid UI
Aral Balkan:
Anyone else love closing iPad apps with a dramatically slow five-finger-pinch zoom out? No? Just me then!
Ben Ward:
If cross-posting is how this is going to go, it would be quite neat for http://t.co/m7UL6uVU to add summary card mark-up to their permalinks
Ben Ward I cross post, so added to my todo list. Would also be good if they followed http://indiewebcamp.com/syndication_formats
Drew McLellan:
"When we first launched, Tweets were a simple 140 character update." Yeah, now they're like totally rich living conversations.
Drew McLellan and not even realtime. FEEL THE DYNAMICALITY
