You KNOW it's gonna suck for me the day I die. I'm gonna be in that deathbed yelling 'THERE ARE STILL NO STANDARDS' and shaking frail fists.

@POWRSURG Me too! That's why I know this. Also because I cornered poor Dave at a drinkathon, er, IW3C meet in Japan and got the full story.

I apologize. I got to a point where the work seemed so huge and my place in it meant something and that was my identity for 30 years. Sorry.

@isofarro which is now causing the idea that everything is a Web app. It's the APP era. Not everything is a Web app.

I will of course go take my tantrum elsewhere and allow y'all to party. Continue as you were and enjoy those Standards, Web and otherwise!

And I for one am not celebrating a day that to me represents only FAIL on my own part. I failed at it. I did. So you can celebrate. I mourn.

PEOPLE GAVE WEB STANDARDS TO THE WORLD. Standards are random, there are no standards, there have never really been "standards" (recs, yes).

@AnnykaV me. I'm the one. I am recognizing that I've let men self-proclaim their greatness while taking 500.00 to their 10k for 25+ years.

You all do realize there is no such thing as "Web standards" right? Because while you're celebrating perceived wins, our Web is a mess.

Yes, yes, I'm the "came late to the party" Standardista. It's okay, I put myself after men my entire career anyway. What's another day?

Also, Tucson is cold. Like actually frozen cold. So I could use a beanie on my head. Where the heck did I put that . . . #bluebeanieday

HOLD THE PHONE! It *IS* Blue Beanie day? Someone help! my sync algorithm failed under the weight of the mountain of food I ate this week.

I slept through Blue Beanie day? Does that mean we've achieved Web Standards? Or that I'm just really, really tired? #bluebeanieday
