  Images from the Sanrio exhibit I managed to see in Tokyo, "The Beginning of Kawaii." I especially like the "Happy Something" lunch box! This exhibit runs until June at the Mori Arts Center Gallery.

  My ride for the next 11 hours is here. Next stop, Shanghai. On Sunday I’ll be taking the high speed train to Hangzhou for W3C’s Advisory Committee meeting – and our @ab face-to-face.

  Hidde @hdv kicking off the @w3cdevs developer meet-up in Hangzhou, preceding our Advisory Committee and @ab meeting week. Who better to cover the topic of AI and the Web, and web standards - the good, the bad and the ugly?

  State of the Browser kicking off in London and I’ve already seen so many lovely web people I know. The room is packed and it's also great to see how many hands went up when @dletorey asked “who is here for the first time?” #stateofthebrowser

  Learning about WebViews at the #FOSDEM Browsers & Web Platform dev room, including the https://caniwebview.com site that (much like CanIUse) tells developers which features are available in which webviews – using BCD data maintained by @openwebdocs (which was presented earlier by @patrickbrosset).
