Where are the contextual experiences?
So many apps and services assume you wish to have a long-term experience when a teprary one would suit you better.
For example, installing an app you're only going to use for a particular event. Or, subscribing to someone/thing for an event.
@sweden / StikoPer:
Back from a good meeting. Lets agree, Scandinavia is metal, regardless of genre.
@sweden is certainly the country most capable of taking traditional tunes and making them metal ;)
Laura Kalbag:
Excuse my language, but this has me in hysterics…RT @gigapup: So fucking casual… http://t.co/0jUbteDl
Laura Kalbag really casual, especially for a dog surrounded by TERRIFYING CARPET MONSTERS
Brennan Novak:
It's interesting that we value "free(dom)" but have always thought of the "free(masons)" as dangerous and bad

New rule for programmers: if you claim to be a rockstar, you must provide photo of yourself with big hair, leather jeans and a Stratocaster.
Tom Morris I have an electric Hurdy Gurdy, does that count?
OH “Meerkats weren't invented when I was a lad” — John Walters
Learning #angularjs. The documentation is so very much better than #emberjs. I am purposefully not checking out each step of the tutorial, instead writing it myself.
I updated the #php-mf2 web demo again, now you can try out the classic microformats compatibility. http://waterpigs.co.uk/php-mf2/
Raspberry Pi:

Using watercolour pencils are a great way for me to pretend I’m an artist when actually COLOURING!
Elaine Nelson:
@BarnabyWalters it looks sort of baffled. Which is awesome. #squoose @dylanw @cssquirrel
@epersonae it’s probably thinking “Why do I have antlers?” #squoose
Reading through the #CSS fonts spec, I’m surprised by just how much of the font-deciding process depends on typefaces being named well.
Sophie Dennis:
Finally worked out how to do our Devon/Bristol/London/Oxford/Guildford roadtrip and am now booking all the things.
@sophiedennis woo logistics!
The #demo2012 march was good. Folk dancing en masse in the street, a temporary occupation of Westminster bridge and some amazing noise going under another bridge. Ten the weather turned on us.
Police presence was imposing yet benign—the multiple helicopters seem like a waste of fuel though.
On the bus bound for London. There is buzzing, blue lights and unintelligible announcements. I feel like I’m on a NASA flight, not a NE one.
