And for the kids and newcomers like folks in #100DaysOfCode here's me doing a workshop in 2006 in Spain on, I kid you kids not, "Designing for Web 2.0" It slays me in retrospect. We didn't even have iPhones or Androids yet! #webdevelopment #webdesign #web2

It was Fundamentos Webwhere I was given the href pin. Oviedo, Spain was in 2006. Here, I'm talking XFN and Microformats, all the rage at the time. Hey, @Cwilso gave a presentation that year. Dare I share the title of HIS talk?😂 It's funny to me. Now. #webdevelopment #WebHistory

This evening's visit to the photo archives unveils the href pin gifted to me in Spain by a very welcoming and warm group of folks in Oviedo. The reason for the href? Because I was traveling so much at the time I required a universal locator! #webdev #Web2 #memories #FunFriday

If you're doing this in an online course, you may want to rethink everything about your content and how inaccessible it will be to people that rely on assistive technology.

Take that 27 year #drought! #Arizona has little potable groundwater. Lake Mead is so dry skeletons are exposed. Lake Powell is in bad shape. The Colorado River water has been limited for #Tucson by 25% or so. hopefully we will recover. "Love, Rain On Me!" #watercrisis #monsoons

In some ways I feel sad for web developers that came to the web after 2013. We had a lot of ridiculous technology and the web was mostly a sandbox and boy did we throw sand but we had a lot of optimism even after 9/11. It was a very different era but from 1993 onward it was epic.

2003 was the last show and than it only had 40,000 attendees. It went bankrupt soon thereafter and was almost bought by Microsoft. I went to at least six or more of them and the one with 300,000 people was close to the end. Comdex had close to 200 shows in Vegas. Different world!

We winged the presentation FTW!. Comdex was huge, 300,00 folks filling half of Las Vegas. It was ancient times before social media, iPhones, MBPs, Android, "smart" tech, gmail, Chrome, it sounds so weird but it was a really optimistic Web then. Here we are later on a SXSW panel.

So Awesome @AaronGustafson moved the web standards project site and it's back up, but do remember it's as ancient as my back molar. Lots of historical value there for sure! Fact: Aaron and I first co-presented on CSS 2.0(?) last minute at what I believe was the final Comdex! (1).

Facebook and Twitter soon obsolete? Unlikely.Blockchain is not replacing the web. What's more it isn't the first distributed option for social media which can be found on onion and has been there for longer with very little adoption. What do you think? cointelegraph.com/news/faceb…

We need to begin discussing what psychopharmacology does to existing medical conditions. In my case the neutropenia and thrombocytopenia improved clinically after Fluoxetine. Seroquel for insomnia? In 3 weeks my low ANC of 1,000 fell to 650. at 1000 again. #prescribedharm

The medications I was on in 2013 only two psychiatric the vast majority at worst harmful mildly benign at best. I am the longest surviving person with bone marrow aplasia that has ever been documented. Only two Pharmaceuticals of hundreds were effective. Epoetin and Filgrastim.
