The Web is ours yet slips from our hands as false leaders and temporary method gods preach away. Ask yourself: What will you leave behind?

We reach out to less social individuals by inviting them into our tech conversation, we promote others accomplishments as well as our own.

What we do is we share information, mentor/mentress others at our jobs or here online. We look beyond our circle jerk and see who wants in.
What we do is we teach each other. We support initiatives like movethewebforward.org/. We take time and get involved on W3C lists. We blog.

I talk about these problems in public and in W3C meetings and people think I make this shit up or look at me as if I'm representing a niche.

What that poll means is that we are ELITISTs and forget that the VAST MAJORITY of people contributing to Web sites are not educated.

My feelings for Michele Bachmann grow ever stronger by the day: molly.com/2011/12/07/my-feel…
@kplawver LOL! Don't give me lines like that. I'll only bury myself in deeper, and I have to make enough to earn my tipple ;)
Polling at Uni Web workshop. Familiar with W3C? Tim Berners-Lee? Zeldman? Not one student (all early 20's) knew. What do you think of that?
