**EDIT** So it appears that kickstarter kills the old videos from kickstarter projects. That's a shame. I came back here to have a look at what the pitch was again. There used to be a nice video embed here.
I’m backer 87 – hurrah for kickstarter.
**The kickstarter is complete AGES ago – so if you’re interested – the site is at http://alwaysreadthemanual.com/ **
I wonder!<p>

My rambling disjointed node.js talk where I forget to close the loop and give @mcaulay (http://funcy.co.uk/) due props (as the cool kids say) for being king of the ninja coders – investigating new tech on an almost nightly basis.
See the other talks from the evening at http://vimeo.com/album/1488931
Here are my slides from the mighty meetup last night as a PDF. Keep an eye on http://twitter.com/#!/search/%23mightymeetup for updates on the other speakers and also on http://www.deerdigital.com/mighty/ for videos and such.
I’m delighted that the tone of tonights conversation after the presentations at #mightymeetup was almost entirely positive and forward looking. Whenever a group of people from any industry get together it’s too easy to slip into criticising clients, legislation, patsy kensit or a competing company which hasn’t shown up. Easy if your industry isn’t interesting enough. Luckily there’s enough meat on the bones of the web that we pretty much kept chewing through the evening by picking each others brains, enthusing about new tech, or praising 5am Saint. Looking forward to the next one already. Especially if the panel concept takes hold. Moreso if there’s more than one chef next time 😉

We have some of Aberdeen’s most experienced and charismatic digital folk lined up to discuss everything from Fonts on the web to JavaScript. Whether you’re agency, freelance or a student this is a great chance to network and learn (and have a few beers whilst we’re at it!).

Kudos to James, Alice and the other sitcom web peeps over at Deer Digital for bringing together the ugliest bunch of speakers ever to grace a meet-up!
And in related news – 60% of my lunch is products I'd never eaten 3 years ago. Namely Sainsburys pain au raisins and those evil starbucks seattle lattes
