Download the "templates and guides" file, too! Has lots of pre-made symbol instances and UIs, color a material palettes, a dynamic type chart, and more:

C: What happened to Coolidge at the end of his biography?
L: He died. Same as most biographies.
C: Mmhmm. Except autobiographies.
L: I guess.
C: Unless they have a ghost writer.
…
L: I hate you.

No idea how many were at the #handsoff at the #seattle center, but the whole lawn was cheek to jowl after 12:30pm, peaking i’d guess about 1pm. Most, incl me, could see or hear the stage, but were there to represent none the less.

I’m thrilled to get ready to share another great WWDC!

I know not everyone can make it to Cupertino. If you’re hosting a watch party, I’d love to hear about it!

I was impressed with Rep. Liccardo’s performance at the town hall. Lots of pointed questions, entirely from the left, which he listened to and answered thoughtfully. There was seating for 700, and dozens of people were standing or sitting on the gym floor.

A few hundred people in line for Rep. Liccardo’s town hall. I’m probably in the front quarter of the line.

Looking forward down a long line of citizens

We made it! And were rewarded with a terminal and a half sprint to our connection. Made that too!
