I can’t believe the governor of SD just signed a law making abortion illegal except in cases to save the mother’s life. WTH? While I am personally against the idea of abortion, I can’t imagine forcing a woman to gestate and deliver an unwanted fetus.\ The thing that confuses me the most is that this […]

Conferences, Conferences
Just a little reminder… I’ll be moderating the How to Convince Your Company to Embrace [Web] Standards at SxSW 2006 next Tuesday. If you’re going to be at the conference, please show up, even if it’s just to heckle. We’ll have our presentation online by the time we actually sit down to give the panel […]
The Sun Sets Over Mandelieu
Time-Lapsed Sunset\ I finally got the pictures off the camera and will try to get them all up before leaving for Texas. I think this is my favorite one so far (I haven’t look at all of them yet – I have to work and stuff). It’s a two second exposure of the last moments […]
Close, But Not Quite
(I wrote this in the Frankfurt airport yesterday… just now getting around to posting it)\ You know, you’d think I’d remember how weird watching familiar TV shows in different languages is. But, I’m an idiot, so of course, it’s a shock every time. I didn’t want much TV this week, but when getting ready in […]
Since I Can’t Put Up Photos…
Look at Daniel’s – I forgot the USB cable for my camera at home. Silly me.\ I did document several of the courses we had at L’Ermitage du Riou, which was, as usual, amazing. We’re winding down, and will end up closing down the joint as one of the last two working groups still meeting. […]
Hanging Out With The Elite
You know how I said I was more comfortable this year than last at the Plenary It’s true, but it’s also still enlightening to be reminded, again and again, how much I don’t know. Today, we spent two hours talking about text direction, and the issues it presents to CSS and other web standards. I […]
What about me!?
Some UPN and WB bigwigs flew out several bloggers to the San Diego set of Veronica Mars so they could meet with Rob Thomas and the cast and get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this awesome show and then blog about their experiences afterwards. How come I wasn’t chosen? Huh? Huh? I blog […]
I am such a bachelor
My fridge is empty except for diet soda and milk. And I just dropped my dinner on the floor. Guess I’ll be eating cereal instead.
The Sin of Jet Lag Pride
I had a fool-proof yet self-destructive method for surviving radical time zone changes. Here’s how it goes: Don’t sleep on the plane. Not because I don’t want to, but because I can’t. Stay up until a reasonable bedtime hour in the destination city, eat a light dinner, take Tylenol PM and go to sleep. Second […]
Fitting In
The last two years, I felt really out of place at the W3C Plenary, and even at working group meetings. This year? I feel fine. Does it really take three years to be comfortable as a member of the W3C? Is it just me?
