Issue 176

I am in San Francisco at An Event Apart, I gave my new An Event Apart talk for the first time yesterday, which was also the last talk of 2018 for me. Tripit tells me I have travelled over 264,000 km this year, to 15 countries and 45 cities. So I think it is time for a little break from travel before it all starts up again in 2019!

Lots of interesting things this week, the various web advent calendar projects are also providing plenty of reading material.
