I remember my grandmother, a smart and inquisitive but barely educated, poor polish immigrant loved to read Yiddish (in Hebrew lettering) in the very popular NJ-based newspaper The Forward in the early 1900s. It is multidirectional, still living online: forward.com/yiddish/
I didn't either but I found it interesting, especially the deck model, which is sort of stack-like but not? Hard to see it the way I did then after so much time! :)
This sounds completely wrong but we like it hard. Just pretend I'm quoting Bob Dylan! It's a hard rain going to fall la la

I have been unkind at times and I work hard to be kinder so hard in fact that I saw Mental Health and learned this about Mental Health Care Professionals they are the least kind people I have ever met by and large with very few exceptions.

There are clouds Gathering here on the horizon and a percentage possibility of afternoon monsoons! We had one Friday of last week and it came down like it had been 27 years of drought in a desert oh wait it has been 27 years of drought in my desert! Please please Bring It On!

Strange to see such a question. Life for me is language, computation, development and advocacy. I celebrate 30 years of almost 60 years filled with the world wide web, its ideals and people. I study and write and advocate 9 years after a terminal diagnosis. AM I alive? Maybe? 🤔

Hahaha well you weren't wrong. Retrospectively perhaps but at the time in the moment at least you were in fact right but OMG how retrospectively wrong as in guess what's in my hand right now.

Ouch. I was definitely not too young and despite not particularly being an early adopter I did have a palm 7 for work purposes! Okay so I'm old but I appear younger and act a hell of a lot younger than I actually am so there's that thank you thank you very much LOL too young SMH

Sarah when you say for us to whom are you referring was it your company at the time or group? Or self? Curious as to who and why because development like that may have prevented the iPhone. Which may have saved the world? I think I'm kidding maybe.

Way ahead of their time. We knew there would be many devices to come, we predicted convergence, and we're open to ever growing types of media. What we didn't see coming was the exponential power given selflessly to a species largely driven by self-serving short-term greed.

Yeah that's the weird thing about time such as we perceive it. My mom always used to say enjoy it now because it goes faster as you get older. Now I just look up to the sky where her energy might be and say yeah that thing about time you were right about that too Mom. Darn it LOL

How do you replicate that kind of getting it? I don't think it's possible. I can understand it I can't for the life of me do it close to well! I'm serious it's why I left design and development for activism, advocacy, education, Fire Starting. Perhaps he's a unicorn after all? 🦄

Absolutely Angie. Such sites do exist. I see Steve cc'd. He remains so far ahead of the game much less capable of advancing what he does with HTML5, style, node.js. last I saw him work f2f? A decade ago. There are tens of millions if not more devs now. A handful or less like him.

Interesting that they had the option was it your group or company that decided to do it and see what would happen or was it contracted just curious as to the opt in opt out option being there at all! Very interesting I wonder if it's still around somewhere?
