(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?
Adventures in Churchery
I wrote this a couple of days ago…\ Day one without the husband, only 8 more to go:\ I’m back from church, for which I had to get ready and endure without help. We skipped Sacrament Meeting cuz the baby was cranky and I didn’t think I could handle him alone. We got there in […]
Accepting Small Progress Gracefully: IE7
Here I am again at the W3C Plenary, where I get to spend a week with the web’s big brains and soak in nerd soup. A lot of time has been spent so far talking about IE7 and its progress or lack thereof and the reaction Microsoft (and especially Chris Wilson and Markus Mielke) are […]
Stenomonkey
I dread taking minutes at working group meetings because it usually means projecting a text editor which is hard to read for the other people in the meeting, and hard to edit for the minute taker. I’ve used IRC, but I hate that the minutes get polluted by the “back channel” discussion. On the flight […]
