A personal thank you to everybody's interest in this time in web standards history because I'm spending my day right now revising work on a paper for exactly that. This is really helpful both as a walk down memory lane and improving the quality of the paper. I thank you so much!

Without your work, we''d still be using tables.

Oh sometimes I really miss them and think I'd like to have them back. For reals!

I used to write HTML emails for a marketing company I worked at, and it was fun writing with tables again, but what sucked was every email program rendered them differently Outlook had 4 different rendering engines depending on what version. EmailonAcid & Litmus are essential.

I also tracked, profled and grouped the users using @sharpspring CRM and Zoho CRM

After ten years of marketing, it made me feel dirty like I was building the foundation for 1984 to become a reality.

It does feel dirty doesn't it and it feels dirtier to know what companies get away with in terms of what we let them take from us in terms of our own privacy and security.

When you see how our own government is using social media to spread propaganda, it really becomes sickening. I recently re-read 1984 and it was a serious eye-opener for me.Right now,I'm reading Utopia by Sir Thomas More or at least the translation of it since I don't know latin

Goes right to Snowden and what he revealed in 2013 our government is nasty to its own people and always has been not a good feeling especially when in a position where you have a choice to do right by yourself or by the people
