Issue 202
I arrived back in the UK on Friday morning, and headed straight to Bristol. Before heading home however I stopped off at the Pixel Pioneers conference and gave my presentation Grids All The Way Down. I've never been so glad to have a flight land on time!
I'm now in Amsterdam, in an Airbnb which has two cats! I'm here to speak at CSS Day, the Fronteers meetup, and also to run a specification reading workshop tomorrow for Fronteers.
Thank you to An Event Apart for their sponsorship of the newsletter this week. The next An Event Apart will be in Washington DC and I'm already looking forward to it.
