I was in an interview today (update: not for a job for me, I was interviewing them to do a job for AOL), talking to a design and development shop (who will remain nameless) about their work and other assorted web-nerdery (flash vs. html, accessibility, localization, etc) when I asked them about the different DOCTYPES they use and why they didn’t just pick one and stick with it. Here’s how the conversation went.
- Creative Director: Yeah, we pick based on client needs and stuff… We’re pretty anal about standards and stuff. We’re geeks, and you know, geeks love anal.
- Me: That’s going on a t-shirt.
He didn’t get it right away, which is probably a good thing. I wish every interview went that well.

Um… does this mean you need help designing the shirt?
You realize that you’ll have to WEAR said shirt at SXSW next year, or I’ll lose all respect for you, right? =)
Ha! So much safer than that other shirt you dared me to wear.
