Three offers of help this morning from friends, offer lots of hope. Thank you!
@AirCanada no online check in from Seattle?! I don’t remember the last time that happened, oh right, the last time I flew AC from SEA! 😦
Super excited about #TechDays_CA next week and a quick visit to Toronto. It’s been too long!
i consider myself pretty competent speaker, but @jbristowe has some great tips for speakers new and veteran alike - http://bit.ly/b8h9x0
I’m wearing purple today, are you?
@snookca - what i don’t understand is why folks are still talking about it? it was almost 2 months ago, and we’ve had an update since!
@codepo8 re: border-radius & box-shadow - can’t see if it’s fixed in PP5 without sources 😦 there’s still work to go & need ppl to file bugs
RT @snookca: If you write an article, ALWAYS show your sources. Show your methodology. CSS? JavaScript? A test case is a must.

Warsaw, Poland has FANTASTIC bacon. That is all. 😃

@sarahsosiak I wish I could have stayed longer! Sadly no free time, but it’s been added to my list of cities to return to though! Waffles!
I wouldn’t call them breakfast food, I’d call them awesome food! But nothing like we have in north America.
Mission Accomplished! I achieved a Belgian Waffle while in Belgium! Now on a train to Amsterdam to get a plane to Oslo!

On @Continental 234 on my way to Fire Island for a little vacation. I’m ready for my Margarita and a little nap.
@loydcase glad to hear that was it! IE9PP’s share the same settings as the IE on your machine.
@loydcase looks like you’re browser is zoomed in, hit CTRL-0 (zero), or close, go to IE8, make sure your zoom is at 100% and re-open IE9PP4
I’ve spent more hours than I care to admit “testing” IE9 Platform Preview 4 with this demo: http://bit.ly/cnXmcq LOVE IT!

RT @peter_nitsch: I hate to say it, but when it comes to HTML5 canvas rendering, IE9 is the champ by a huge margin. I’m impressed.
@alanhouser http://border-radius.com doesn’t work in IE9 PP3. If I change the UA string in IE9PP3 to Chrome or FF it works though… 😦

@j0sh_was_here it’s still meant as a developer preview and so we’ve kept it to only the platform for now.
