User experience can never be more important than access. For if there is no access, there can be no user, much less experience.

For a long time now I've felt far more trapped, isolated and outside of my "tribe" - this became very acute at SXSW this year.

For what it's worth, owning a lifetime of money to the IRS is another piece of it all. I don't have a passport, I can't leave my country.
Yes, that's it. I'm angry. I am angry! Anger is the hardest emotion for me. I turn it against myself, it becomes depression.

I have always served mankind, @G64 It is serving myself I forget about. Or maybe I just don't care enough about myself. I don't know.

Long form writing would be a great place to start again, but I'm a little exhausted. It's not like 35 books in 10 years was hard to do.

Maybe the next step is to start the anti-web, which promotes profitable, proprietary, platform specific dev. It'd sure be easier and faster.

Finish the joke, I'm going to take a nap. "An open web evangelist walked into the room and said:___________"

Remember, I'm about to leave a job and that has me questioning a lot about what's really next. I do know this: I can work for no man.

When I question walking away, I want your thoughts. I will know when it's time. And there WILL be a time. Entropy and death take us all.

I didn't say I didn't like the DOCTYPE switch. It saved our asses. I'm saying it also would not be necessary in a standards-based world.

@amhlaidgh That's XHTML. NOT HTML!!! XHTML is an application of XML with the *vocabulary* of HTML. Precision matters.
I ask you, my friends, who know how much it means to me. Do I offer relevance? Is it time I walk away from the Web once and for all?

My god, the problems we have with a lack of formal education. The perpetration of falsehoods and inaccuracies. I perpetrated many myself.

XML is a meta language derived from another meta language, @amhlaidgh. That would also be SGML, from which HTML was derived.

@amhlaidgh SGML was NOT a Flash in the Pan. It is a meta language that entire publishing systems have been built on, not just the Web.
It is my hope that one day the DOCTYPE switch will be removed, it is hackish but was extremely important to the evolution of CSS layouts.
