Again, a situation where all kinds of very interesting, kind and wonderful folks began to coalesce into an extended group of content creators from print to web to a multi-city event with the WebShows. CMP Media bought it all up, and it was an incredible time of my life at least!

Miller-Freeman published the print magazine originally titled "Web Techniques" and had a hand in early webshow conference, which was quite a big deal then! Web Review was Dale Dougherty's web mag from Songline Studios. It was home to CSS's @meyerweb original style compat charts.

So going back and reconstructing the arc of Web 1.0 ad Web 2.0 has been a big part of what I have wanted to do for my book as well as history, especially rise of Web Standards, Open Web, and three very important, influential project from Miller Freeman and @OReillyMedia.

Crazy deep into the Wayback Machine, which of course was not meant to ever exist - URLs should have stayed that way, many factors didn't lend to that, including self-destruction of sites and blogs just as artists will set fire to their own paintings (burned a lot of my stuff.)

Rolling Stone has politicized the news of psychiatric meds and serotonin as 'right wing' when it affects all Humanity. To make this a partisan USA issue is illogical and demeaning to Human Rights advocates and suffering and stigmatized patients globally.

Mozilla is working on Common Voice, a project that will help bring a wide variety of voices, languages accents and other needs for text to speech and speech based technology. Needless to say I am a fan! They're running a competition! Have a look. #a11y

Health apps are being scrutinized in the Press lately a great deal and not just because of security and privacy issues from random hackers or known intelligence. More disconcerting as Mozilla covers here it could in fact be employers taking advantage of data taken from employees!
More and more employers are providing mental health apps for their employees.
But how much data do employers have access to? And is there an opportunity for that data to be misused? #PrivacyNotIncluded

It's Wednesday and it's the Web! I don't recall what's going on there but we're all looking at each other with quirky, odd amusement. 😎
LTR: @stop, me, @cwilso and @meyerweb at SXSW. Must've been #CSS but anyone remember the title or specific topic?

YouTube x Roku = HappyMols! Do you see changing pop psy vids on deck like: "10 reasons intelligent people like to be alone" I check every box but Emotional Intelligence/Control. ME? Please! The Stoic's stick gets pulled out immediately. On purpose. Not that intelligent I guess?

Are you kidding me? I mean really. I had no idea he was getting out this week, did you? Since the day I saw shkreli smirk I swore he and I are going to pass each other somewhere. I'm wiping that smirk off his face forever. Great cure for what ails us all.

Some interesting use of artificial intelligence. I never liked the term AI. Humans embody artifice and how intelligent we are is questionable! The article here describes artificial general intelligence AGI. single task intelligence for multitasking! Cool.

"people take antidepressants because they have been led to believe their depression has a biochemical cause, but this new research suggests this belief is not grounded in evidence."

This is hilarious! From a Blog post about leaving Twitter in 2008! The blog is gone but Twitter? Not gone. The comments? Very interesting perceptions of Twitter then versus now. Not to mention how many are still hanging around despite knowing better 😜

versioning the web is like versioning wars. How do we version what has been with us forever in some way and some have multiple names for different years of events?. And what exactly are we versioning with the web? Isn't evolutionary supposed to evolve?

Is that representative of human history or is it more representative of the shift toward a world of becoming ever more digital and mobile? we can point to a few names for Web 2.0 but web 3.0? Who knows who coined what when and it has different connotations. Maybe it's marketing?

Largely speaking by Publishers and writers and technologists including myself who were there and look back and wonder what about all of the incredible things that were done by incredible people world over that have become contentious human history that is very poorly documented.

But who really coined the phrase it's like asking who told that joke or made up that meme we don't always really know and it begged a big part of my brain interested in web history got huge gaps in documentation and influencers which The Arc between 99 and 2006 is left blank
