@darkuncle Yes, that was excellent. I was unfortunate enough to have my first ever encounter with James Mickens to be watching him present then going on stage immediately after him to do my talk. I did not have nearly enough jokes in my talk, but I did enjoy his talk…

@darkuncle
Made me laugh out loud, while I'm waiting at the gate to board 20-hours worth of flights, all of it in a middle seat. Not many things can make me laugh in this situation 😄

@darkuncle @adrianco no matter how many times I've read it I always cry with laughter at his writing 😀

@darkuncle I regularly share this video with people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajGX7odA87k

@darkuncle
I use this whenever people *really* want to know what my work is like

@darkuncle Every time someone shares one of Mickens' columns, I find it to be a joy to read.

@darkuncle I was really disappointed that we didn't hire him. Harvard may be just down the street but it is so, so far away.

@darkuncle because I know I'm going to want to find this later... #JamesMickens , The Night Watch, "I HAVE NO TOOLS BECAUSE I'VE DESTROYED MY TOOLS WITH MY TOOLS."
