Life

Lots of interesting meetings, NativeSummit (which was cool), Women in Tech meetup at Facebook, and a meetup for the Nesta Hack my friend and I are taking part in next weekend.

Starting to prep talks for next year, which is fun. Confirming two more conferences to speak at soon! And playing with AutoLayout.

Media

Watching Drop Dead Diva (wow I love that show), and I’m all caught up with the Kardashians. Still reading The Profitable Side Project for non-fiction. Novels, read Friends Like Us, and reading Going Dutch.

Product links Amazon.

Places

Dinner at Addie’s Thai (amazing as always), Giant Robot (terrible), Bamboo Box (cheap and fast sushi), Wahaca (tasty), desert at Workshop Coffee and J+A, breakfast at Pret a Manager (surprisingly delicious), lunch at KIN Street Food (wonderful) and Dragon Palace (BBQ pork buns).
