Guess who misremembered having 25 seconds per slide and instead has 15 seconds per slide on Monday?

FML! :)

Goodness, I hate formalistic presentation styles like Ignite. But don’t worry, I’m breaking the form three times in the talk – including starting with a minute of silence for Gaza (that’s four black slides and 1/5th of the 5-minute talk), a transition (ok, it’s a 15-second transition, but still), and a live demo (yep) – and using that to demonstrate the case that we do not have to accept the rigid confines of the status quo, that resistance and sabotage are always options, and that the way things are is just raw materials for the way things can be. That said, constraints are also good so the reduced slide duration will only make my talk more impactful if I edit it down right, it just means more work… and more than one thing can be true at the same time. ;)

If you’re in Dublin/Ireland and want to drop by, there are no tickets and it’s first-come first-served:

@aral Side thought: many a day ago, people would have a personal website, or blog, or even a single page that said “Hi, this is what I do”.
You're the only one listed still having that and not pointing to a LinkedIn account

I feel something got lost in the “The Web is for everyone” proposition.

(I know we've gone from pioneers to 9-to-5ers, but still.)
