Issue 66
I'm at An Event Apart San Francisco this week, the last stop on my little US tour. I presented my new talk New CSS Layout Meets the Real World here yesterday. While writing that hour long talk I think I removed at least 6 blog posts worth of material about layout, I'll write up some of that soon!
After heading back to the UK tomorrow I'll be at ffconf next week with the last CSS Layout workshop I'm running this year.
