I use Twitter to tell people what I am doing right now.

  • Jan 27 8:14am So thankful to the swell #dotMobi people for the #fomw event and also helping me rearrange my flights so I can get home and rest sooner!
  • Jan 27 3:58am @barrypj Keep reading! I think you're close to the meat of the IE8 Media Query stuff (sorry @grigs -- I didn't think to ask about chap 2!)
  • Jan 27 3:52am Where would YOU, web dev, most naturally think to search for how-to mobile web documentation? What makes sense? Thoughts? #fomw
  • Jan 27 3:30am @barrypj Yes, we should have done a better job of talking about shims and IE support for media queries! I'll see what I can do!
  • Jan 27 3:30am Whew. I could talk about this kind of mobile web dev stuff for hours. Oh, wait. I have been. #fomw
