In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen – Random Thoughts

The Invisibles
When I was talking about monitoring web performance yesterday, I linked to the CrUX data for The Session.
CrUX is a contraction of Chrome User Experience Report. CrUX just sounds better than CEAR.
