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. […]
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 […]
We’ve launched!! Hooray!! You can go check it out for yourself over here. If you want to create a profile, you can do that too. All you need is an AIM screen name (and who doesn’t have one of those?) to get started.\ This project has been more fun than anything else I’ve done in […]
If you’re coming here from Digg, you may have the wrong idea about me. I’m not the “leader” of anything. I’m a contributor to the project and helped design the nerdy bits behind a lot of it. But, I’m not in charge of nothin’. I’m just a nerd who loves web standards (I designed the […]
One day last week while the boys were watching TV, I decided to finally get this here blog up-to-date with microformats, especially since I’m all for them and keep telling people to use them. Might as well take my own medicine, right?\ As of sometime last week, the front page has three separate hAtom feeds […]
Come to Convincing Your Company to Embrace Standards this morning! If you want a preview of the presentation, it’s here. But, it would be better if you help fill up the room. If the room is empty, I’ll be sad, although it might make doing the presentation a little easier.\ And, if you don’t care […]
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. […]
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 […]
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?
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 […]
