@navalang I had never watched an ep of CiC webseries before this one and it gave me the squirms—& not in fun 'Curb' way. Had to turn it off.
@nickhunebrown That's why I chose my twitter profile background! I wanted something bleak as hell.

#TheatreWiki hackathon is done. Thanks everyone! Here’s what we all just started, by the numbers. More to come: 
Realtime snapshot of where across Canada people are working on #TheatreWiki: 
You can "Rename" any page on #TheatreWiki by selecting "Move" and changing its name. Automatically redirects! 
This now also works for [[category:Artists]]. You can type anything in place of "Artists" and then manage that #TheatreWiki category!

@mattbraga I recently turned on https for a new site I'm working on based on your agitating on this issue. Feels good! Righteous.

Absence of these is seldom a deal-breaker. But any obstacle hinders speed, treatment, home-page promotion, shareability of your message.
By "good" I mean: 1) high-res, large file sizes; 2) variety of options; 3) easily searchable; 4) unambiguously rights-cleared for press use
Companies seeking media coverage: easy availability of good multimedia (images, video) can make or break pitches to online outlets.
3. Did a rambly chat with @LGYYC about why it looks like it does, mostly, plus why it doesn't look like stuff: spiderwebshow.ca/article/digita…
2. Open-sourced the design: github.com/SpiderWebShow/… — so you can see every gory, embarrassing detail. Bug files welcome.
We dropped the @SpiderWebShow redesign yesterday. Notable: 1. webfonts gone. Rediscover the default font stack! twitter.com/gfscott/status…
