I starting learning html in early 2000’s, I definitely used those resources. I got to help out the microformats people a bit by distilling their markup into a cheat sheet later on, but otherwise I was a consumer of information.

I promoted and gave a few talks on microformats. I like the powerful simplicity of them. I however a bit startled though when @tantek asked what attributes beyond rel we could exploit.😊 but we don't see either lowercase or uppercase semantic web anymore.

I always saw them as the building blocks for web accessibility. Seeing you both, and the other speakers in Vancouver really kicked my interest into high gear. My friend @girlGeek got me into it. Organized code was our swoon moment. 😂

Now you're making me long for days of old but we can't look back it is what it is I don't like it but I think we need some kind of organization I really do I think we need to focus and make better decisions raise the quality of work all the way around!

Totally agree. I moved into the people and process side of things since then but it’s a worthy goal. My kid is just getting into this stuff so having a similar situation meant for under 18’s would be a great starting point.

You have an 18-year-old son wow congrats on raising an adult impressive. I am definitely all about the human and social issues now. It's what I always was but I'm just more enveloped than that instead of studyingrwcs and specs to their tiniest details 😊

I have an 11 year old daughter. She’s just already into game design and I figure if she’s interested now starting her with web stuff is a fun project.

How great! I'd be very vigilant. I was sent to private school despite not being religious family Heritage yes but I was hyper I know you're surprised LOL they wanted me out applying myself so I liked it but I was doing well got to arithmetic multiplying eights and went blank!

Never having encountered something like that in school that I couldn't work out I began to cry I was frustrated and rabbi's wife the arithmet's teacher said don't worry honey you'll never need it or you can ask your husband! Oh, I needed it. And I didn't get married till after 50

I’m so glad we are farther away from that sexist nonsense. You, hyper? Never! 😉 Still a lot to fight clearly, but she’s already a powerhouse so I am sure she will do the crap out whatever she enjoys.
