But if you’d like to catch a public variation of that same presentation, the evening rather than the matinée version if you will, read on… Adaptive Path are generously hosting us on the evening [...]

Adaptive Path kindly invited me to their offices this morning, where I muddled through my Making Senses talk, on using the human senses as inspiration for next-generation Web browser functionality.
