Masterclass on "yer new tech idea ain't as special as you think" by @wasbuxton. Thanks for setting it up, @CHIFOO.

Was asked to get speakers for CHIFOO 2024. Did it because I am lucky to know a lot of interesting people.

Was mentioned in tonights CHIFOO event, thanking me for doing that. I didn't need to be noticed for it, but also it was nice.

Then my bairn brain Brian said, "We should start a new series!"
