Tweets
Some tweets from me, some tweets from others.
Perhaps the most creepy ID badge I have ever had for a conference.

As a goat, I need to be groomed for my close-up. #abstractions pic.twitter.com/SjQ5f8Nx1s

I tried to photo-bomb a selfie with Larry Wall and @tenderlove and I said “I feel like a jerk.” #abstractionshttps://t.co/NRwtX2yW4Z

Recognizing people filing into the #abstractions opening based on their Twitter profile photos. So glad everyone uses a recognizable avatar.

Tech check for #Abstractions. They are acting like they have never seen a totally sweet Dell Mini 10. pic.twitter.com/Rntm7a6vN3

Sub-tweet: saw a keynote & follow-on interactions that were… interesting. Quick post-talk hallway chat tells me I’m not alone thinking this.

Telling people that Duquesne is pronounced ‘doo-KEZ-nee.’
— Adrian Roselli (@aardrian) August 20, 2016
Then telling them Duquesne Incline is pronounced ‘doo-KEZ-nee in-CLEZ-nee.’
Phrase I find myself uttering a lot at conferences: “I think you’ve confused me for another bald white guy.”
— Adrian Roselli (@aardrian) August 20, 2016
I just admitted last night was an ideal Saturday night: alone in my hotel room eating takeaway salad by the fistful with Colbert re-runs.

There are two speakers at this conference with VGA ports. My Dell Mini 10 running Windows, IE, & PowerPoint. And Richard Stallman’s machine.

Infinite scroll (aside from being a personal pet peeve) is totally destructive for accessibility. Listen to @aardrian please. #abstractions

I like that Stallman’s talk started with almost 10 minutes of statements on how & where you may and may not post talk photos and recordings.

I’M JUST HAPPY TO BE RECOGNIZED! https://t.co/Sr7UJPcCRO

This guy next to me at the closing keynote has been sleeping the entire talk. He missed the Twitter back channel. #abstractions
— Adrian Roselli (@aardrian) August 21, 2016
Going on the record to say that despite some of my snark for closing keynote, #abstractions was a great event. Would eat there again.
— Adrian Roselli (@aardrian) August 21, 2016
I’ve got nothing on @saronyitbarek & @RobFrelow meal vlogging. Also, @nodunayo eyeballs a booze shake. #abstractions pic.twitter.com/iYD3bkG7on

Video
Google’s photo album thinger grabbed some of the photos I took with my phone, added some music, and made it into a video. Unsurprisingly it has plenty of food photos (which I removed). I’ll just embed it here (MP4 only, so no Stallman) for you to watch or ignore.
Tumblr
I also posted more photos to Tumblr (all using the #Abstractions hashtag) than appeared in my Tweets (but which captured everything I posted to Instagram), in case that sort of thing interests you.

A clip from Saron Yitbarek’s vlog from dinner on the last night where my forehead makes a prominent appearance.

Abstractions gave 75 scholarships. That scholarship is now a formal entity that can help even more people better themselves. More info soon. https://t.co/kalv4CPutP
