in which I write about stuff
came in late, or they started early. lawver had good stuff about building a standards support team. I wish Deirdre was still around. fun, management liasion. should talk to Dale about this, to start something on a statewide basis, maybe in connection with WaSP etf? netscape/aol guy feels lots of empathy for the opera guys. [...]
I’m finishing up a gorgeous smooth creamy chocolatey iced mocha at the same coffeeshop I went to Thursday morning.? the adorably disheveled English (?) barista brewed the shot directly into the plastic cup with the chocolate syrup.? milk & ice went into a cocktail shaker separately and then poured over the top, stirred together.? even [...]
tonight I feel awake.? today was, overall, a very good day, enough to redeem yesterday’s exhaustion and frustration and then some. I even got back to my hotel to the Breakfast Club (already in progress, as they say), which I haven’t seen in years and just loved in high school. the sessions today were engaging, [...]
Molly calls everybody up front, I shout that we have power, and zeldman’s voice is very ragnarok-like on the mike. zeldman! started selfishly, no particular understanding of the real benefits of standards. were rebellious 14-year-olds because they had no hope. so to speak. funny story about being anonymous. WaSP: “oh, Glen’s thing.” but now there’s [...]
A really good lunch with Ralph. The kind of excellent friend conversation one would hope for, and which is too nice to be blogged. (the Taco Shack is tasty & cheep) Kimberley Blessing, is she the ETF person? I think Molly is rad. Drew on the history on the WaSP, browsers supporting standards. must be [...]
came in late, brain still buzzing from digital preservation panel. a lot of the best practices for various web disciplines overlap. best thing copywriters can do is write something that’s worth linking to. bottom line: don’t use “click here” alt text…used to be just a place to reiterate the keyword, and now they’re using them [...]
but first, some mathmatics: long skirt + bike + strong gusty winds = a bad scene a bad scene + a nice pedestrian = skirt distentangled from rear brakes cycling + fruit + iced mocha + 11 hrs sleep = cheerful and intellectually engaged Elaine greenberg is writing a history of vcr’s & video stores! [...]
11 hours of sleep makes a ginormous difference. I’m still kinda drowsy, but I don’t feel so flipping out of it as I did yesterday afternoon & evening. I had a cheese sandwich at Halcyon, then rode to the hotel and crawled into bed.? There was a 24 marathon on, and I tried to watch [...]
Sunday, apparently.? I feel entirely blurry.? would like to go to dinner with Ralph &/or Andrea, but it looks like that isn’t going to happen.? and my typing is all crazy now, which is maybe a sign that I should get a quick bite & then go “home” & sleep.
shawn henry. saw her keynote at highedweb. her grey streaks are so cute. van voor(?). was an accessibility guy at BofA. derek featherstone. faruk ates. isn’t he on the WaSP ETF mailing list? very boyish. show of hands for various things. acronymage, ending with wtf? undue burden on developers, according to shawn. content == stuff.
