I just did my first presentation at WWW on our microformat, and who was in the audience, but Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the web. There was a moment, sitting at the front of the room, waiting for my turn to present, that I got really nervous. I’m not normally nervous before I speak in […]
A couple new photosets. I can upload pictures from the conference center, but can’t from the hotel. So, here they are and there are more to come. I’m way behind on pictures. Brian’s Birthday Party Edinburgh Day One Edinburgh High Street\ Enjoy! There are more to come.
Until last night, I’d never tried haggis and never really wanted to. But, we went to a lovely Scottish restaurant last night (“we” being Arun, Bert Bos, Chaals, Chris Lilley, Shawn, Carolie, Richard Ishida, Thomas and Liam – they were all here for the W3C AC Rep meeting), and they had haggis as an appetizer. […]
Since Jen asked, here’s what I’ve done/seen so far: Since my hotel room wasn’t ready when I got in, I wandered around the High Street area, and got a lovely cup of soup in a little cafe. I walked by a bunch of interesting shops that were closed because it was Sunday. Today, I walked […]
It’s cold and rainy in Edinburgh and the hotel wi-fi sucks. I think I’m almost done with my presentations for this week and I’ve already registered for the conference and hit a grocery store (disappointingly, they didn’t have Smarties, Kinder Eggs or orange Lilt). I watched Top Gear on real TV and caught the UK […]
I’m headin’ to Scotland tomorrow for WWW2006, where I’ll be presenting twice: Writing CSS for Syndicated Content A Microformat Proposal for Interoperable Widgets\ Neither is 100% done (that’s what the plane ride is for, right?), although the “proof” widget for the cross-platform widgets is done (and it looks good because Cindy designed it). It’ll be […]
Mississippi was great! My parents seem very happy with their new home and city. Their house is really nice, with a gorgeous view of the lake from almost every room. I had such a good time, I even banned South jokes from the house and the kids’ ears.\ I know Kevin was happy to see […]
I just checked and since January, I’ve already flown 29,599 miles. You need 36,000 to get Premier (you know: the silver card, shorter lines, infrequent free upgrades, no cost upgrades to Economy Plus), and I’ll have that before the middle of May.\ You know, when I first started traveling for work, I thought it was […]
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 […]
(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 […]
