Beautiful website, and great suggestions!

I wonder how many will get the cultural reference. Do you?
Great find! RT
@HugoGiraudel @LeaVerou I like Countable.js:
radlikewhoa.github.io/Countable/. Pushes things a little further than word count.
Most sleek word count tool I’ve seen:
wordcounteronline.com
It’s also client-side, no time consuming page reloads! :)
Trying six gazillion typefaces out, then deciding to go with one from my handful of favourite font families. EVERY FRIGGIN TIME.

Thank you, exactly what I needed!! RT
@parkr @LeaVerou @github Wait, doesn’t it? What is the “Files Changed” tab for?
I wish
@github allowed you to review all the changes a pull request makes, not just the changes every in every individual commit in it.
Ask a programmer to review 10 lines of code, he'll find 10 issues. Ask him to do 500 lines and he'll say it looks good.
Only a few early bird tickets left to go see
@cameronmoll,

Can't believe
#FOWD is almost finished! What a amazing talk on border-radius by
@LeaVerou On the positive side, something similar could be used to detect zoom level perhaps.
Spent ages debugging why
@firefox returned 18.9833px and not 20px in a computed style. Finally tracked it down: I had zoomed out!

blog.dabblet.com/post/501664006… The update to Lion was worth it, just for the notifications. I love them! Goobye Growl, you won’t be missed!
Update was successful. Not sure what’s changed though, besides the Notification center, Speech-to-text, Notes, and Reminders.
Installing Mountain Lion. Hope I don’t regret it.
Presenting the user with a degenerate list of options that contains only one item, is a UI antipattern. Surprising how often I see this.
I can’t pinpoint why, but I found this comment

Me: Let’s please not schedule this too early in the morning
Other Person: Ok, how about 11?
Me: How is that not early?!?
