It is the true teacher who leaves the class knowing they have learned the most.

It's gone backward due to Frameworks and not enough advocacy to bring better understanding to CSS Cascade and specificity. I keep threatening to do something about it but I can't work much and no one remembers me of this new era cuz I don't go out or talk Web much anymore :)

No crystal balls here Brad. No hope. No despair now. I was heartbroken. It is what it is. WaSP or similar is needed but I do not have the physical or mental capacity to lead a cat. I disagreed then and now, our work is SO not done. It will outlast us, Brad, if we humans make it!

We worked with a number of the designers to show how they did certain design techniques. Menus, better font use, it was a CSS jump ahead and do it now that we had IE more on track (ha, my one personal pride was IE and MS via WaSP. Buh-bye IE, hello Chrome monoculture (I like Tor)

That's called the Web as it was meant to be. I think it's not Web 1.0 if we have to mark it. SAME XHTML, Designer CSS, no script and yet - wow. It's been referred to as a "Proof of Concept" (actually that was Dave's Garden IMO) but the book got the word out along with sessions.

We were asked a few years later to do a follow-up and both of us agreed not to because this captures a certain time and ideology and that had already changed and I don't think it would have been that interesting. It did very very well and helped a lot of people myself included.🤣
Used that very book in the first class I ever taught for @UofDenver!

Homage to The CSS Zen Garden and the book that was a truly great co-author experience with Dave Shea. I learned so much from him and all the designers. Such progress for a declarative, meaningful, semantic, beautifully crafted #webdesign great years of optimism for us all it was.

Impulsive and first responder and alpha alpha human. Without a sense of safety for myself. It is getting softer as I age, but I chose peace. I'm really a revolutionary.
I have a Walgreens 10 minutes away once I drive over the "hill" (mountain). And every other imaginable Walmart, CVS etc. My family's used you for 3 generations. Maybe it's time to break up because when I called for help the tech at Las Vegas yelled at me and hung up - "TOO BUSY"
@Walgreens Why do you send meds through the mail so obviously? I grabbed mine today from an unlocked semi-rural box and the bag had a bottle with obvious shaking noise because you won't fill it in Arizona until we get all my docs in a row. I fought for it every time in person. :/
