That's you, Brad. That's our #webdev #webdesign #a11y #opendata #openGov #openSociety #OPEN and authentic core community. That's the true heart that we have still beating but has been seemingly lost in the cacophonic roar in large part caused by the very work we've done. 鉂わ笍馃挌馃挋

Sounds like you're swimming through deep waters, discerning the forms deep beneath the surface and up above. Big hug on your journey.

Yes, there鈥檚 a lot of howling winds outside these days, but the world has been much worse over before and still came out the other side. Spring still came. Maybe not for us now, but eventually.

Every age hopes their new technology (books, newspapers, radio, etc) will fundamentally change human nature; perhaps it does in small course corrections over time, but an idealist will always be disappointed. Despite that, I still believe the web is a modern miracle.

I鈥檓 still proud to have been a small part of a large community of people creating the web. Ignorance may be bliss but I鈥檇 rather have a global, intertwingled hypertext medium than not.

I agree. I'm proud. I'm wounded, but I've always been far-sighted literally and figuratively. This is bigger than our lifetimes if we as a species survive, it will morph and change. The preservation of equitable access (not just #a11y) is my most deep concern now.
