The amazing Molly posted a tweet yesterday with a photo of a bunch of us at the 2006 W3C Plenary in Mandelieu, France.

A little background, since this is now… Continue reading A Web Standards Adventure

My Friend Cindy Li
I’ve worked with hundreds, if not thousands, of people over the years. I’ve liked most of them, been friends with a lot of them, and loved many of them. Cindy was definitely in the last category.

Web Standards’ Three Buckets of Pain

I spent the first part of the week in the CSS Working Group discussing CSS3 features and CSS2.1 issues. Tuesday evening and Wednesday were spent in the AC meeting… Continue reading Web Standards’ Three Buckets of Pain
