Ah, okay, so Saturday was a drunken math graduate graduation party to celebrate Emily's ascent into the Master class. I got to meet some of her math friends and her new boyfriend, all of whom were generally pretty cool. So, gratz to Emily ( Read more... )

So I thought I was going to be going to An Event Apart in Philly, which is hosted by Jeffrey Zeldman, Lord of Web Standards, and Eric Meier, the what's-higher-than-God? of Cascading Style Sheets...which was a super-exciting notion, but now I don't think I will be going.
