If you caught this presentation when I delivered it at Harvard, in May, or online somewhere, please know that I intend to modify/update it now that Firefox 3.5 is out.

I'm betting that the information presented will be less "aww, someday, but not today," and much more "I needed this information and I can use it soon," due to the updated FF.

Then, you'll be all like, "I need to high-five somebody," and I'll be like, "Yo, right here," and it will be incredible.

And then I'll be like "Don't leave me hangin'" and Marc will be like "You know I won't brotha" and Jenna will be all "You guys are such dorks."

Yeah, just like that.

adarowski

Like alwaysly.

And then Patrick will say "Peace" like he always does and Kyle Bradshaw will make fun of me for rolling my eyes like I always do.

And then I'll try to high-five Marc but I'll miss cause I wasn't watchin' his elbow.

Seriously, this is going to rock, so glad you're doing this talk again for those who missed the boat!

Then I'll be all, "what? I don't get it." Because I rarely get to these events even though they're only a few damn miles from my house. Then I'll draw glares from the regulars.

But then the roof starts shaking, and we're all like slow-motion-Darth-Vader "nooooooooooooooooooooooo" but Marc is all like "ain't no thang" because with his non-high-fiving hand he's literally raising the roof.

And I will be there, mouth agape in amazement.
Also handing out high-fives.

Kyle MR

I'll have one hand in my pocket.

jlbruno

And then I'll be all like "What? How come no one is high fiving me?" cause I'll probably be all sitting in my house watching via Ustream. And I'll probably try to high five the screen, which will break, and I'll cry. As tearsly.

marcamos

[These comments are incredible.]

And we'll all laugh at Jeff for trying to high-five his screen instead of actually coming out to a Refresh Boston event and slapping some skin in person, but he'll just reply with "I have a kid" and I'll have no comeback for that except "I have a dog" which of course just isn't the same.

...and then I'll drive to Jeff's house and be all like, "Yo, I'm here to hand-deliver a high-five, because THAT'S CUSTOMER SERVICE," and Jeff will be all like, "Nice! Here's a beer," and then he'll go to my speakerrate.com page and give me awesome feedback.
