See, this is what makes it such a good question!

Batman’s moral code is his weakness; Boba Fett just shoots Batman…

But!

Boba Fett is a bouty hunter. His weakness is money. And what’s Batman’s (Bruce Wayne’s) superpower? Money!

1. Who would win in a fight—Boba Fett or Batman?
2. What’s that smell?
3. Will there ever be a boy born who can swim faster than a shark?
4. What am I thinking right now?
5. What’s the bloodiest you’ve ever been?

This. This is what Twitter is for.

Ooh, I’d love that! Could I pop around this afternoon? Will you be there today?

I think I’ll spend my free day in San Francisco exploring the coffee shops, bookshops and taquerias of the Mission. Suggestions welcome (and if you want to meet up, let me know).

You are too, too kind.

Thank you, my friend.

You can update your service worker script to cache the new assets. You can also clean out the old ones.

There’s an activate event that fires when the service worker starts up—that’s a good time to do this.

But if you can figure out how to mark up air quotes, please let me know. Because that would be “awesome.”

On my site I’ve used <q class="air"> to mark up airquotes.

(Also: what a lovely example you chose for figure. 🙂)

I hear ya! I’d be lost without @ksylor’s great ohshitgit.com

One of my favourite quotes in all of my talks was from this fantastic piece by the brilliant Ida Rhodes:

“The Human Computer’s Dreams Of The Future”
