So I delivered the keynote address (cheekily titled “Strawberries, Smileys and Sheep”) at yesterday’s Form Function & Class, organized by the great folks at PWDO. Got some good feedback from the audience, which I’m going to keep here so I have a record of it, since Twitter Search seems to excise old archives. (I can’t find any of my old @replies from two or three months ago, and it’s too much of a hassle to go that far back using the pagination. Bad Twitter. Bad.)
