• Veen hits generation gap point, mentions that new generation assumes public unless explicitly held private exact opposite of past #wds08 #
  • At end of day, go get Jeffrey Veen’s #wds08 presentation at http://Veen.com/wds08.pdf It was truly fantastic, with some great insights! #
  • At Jina Bolton’s #wds08 Sexy CSS preso, researching for my new book. She seems a little nervous but is speaking from obvious experience. #
  • Jina’s #wds08 talk is mostly a preview of CSS3. Could read docs myself but would definately like to network w/her, get to know W3C folks #
  • Asked a lot of questions at Jina’s #wds08 preso, might have come off a little haughty, didn’t mean to, I promise! Just have lots of Q’s. #
  • Mike’s #wds08 presentation uses the quote: “HTML is the assembly language of the web.” There’re lots of politics in this HTML5 debate. #
  • Damn sub-par Wi-Fi at #wds08. I want to check Twitter replies but can’t. If you’re @ replying to me please know I just can’t see it now. #
  • What does Mike mean HTML is not SGML? I know SGML is distinct but isn’t it an ancestor of HTML? Am I missing something obvious? #wds08 #
  • @karlw3c Cool, thanks for the clarification re HTML implementation details. #
  • Hoping we get past OpenID 101 in Myles’s #wds08 preso since I’ve learned most of this already & it was covered on http://grc.com/securitynow #
  • Gonna hit up I18N session now that #wds08 OpenID one is trying to debunk security myths. My bad for misreading the description of the preso #
  • Learned something new in other Myles’s I18N #wds08 preso: the internationally recognized symbol for currency is not recognized on iPhone kb. #
  • Another good tip from I18N #wds08 preso: extra work needed to do internationalization can be a competitive advantage cuz you can’t be sloppy #
  • Miles Byrne told me he’ll try to put his I18N presentation up on the #wds08 site. Now on to Doug Crockford’s Ajax Security. So excited! #
  • Crockford already has a great #wds08 quote: “Programming is the management of complexity.” #
  • I find Crockford’s whole approach to standards as simple, small, minimalistic and precise much more attractive than bigger standards #wds08 #
  • Crockford sees start of browser war 3 but calls for it to be at mercy of devs, not browser makers, sees 2yrs remaining on JS lifespan #wds08 #
  • @sanbeiji just spoke with Mike Smith about XPath vs CSS3 Selectors at #wds08, thinks we should put it in the book. Let’s jam on that! #
  • People managing themselves is a fundamental topic of @mpesce’s #wds08 keynote. Is that the holy Grail of egalitarianism? Social justice? #
  • @mpesce uses the education in school is dead example to showcase hyper-networked world. Children already know this, I dropped out 8yrs ago! #
  • Want to go get drinks w/ #wds08 folks but have a bad headache. Considering getting some food first tho from where? Might wander a bit. #
  • Cameron Adams is blasting Eurythmics’s Sweet Dreams at the #wds08 after party. Lights dim and I’m growing weary but networking is great! #
  • I can’t actually believe I’m still at #wds08 party. Spoke to Daniel Burka, David Peterson, Jeff Veen, others. AWESOME, but now SO tired. #
  • @johnallsopp THANK YOU for #wds08! I’m finally leaving for home but the experience & memories of my 1st conference will stay forever! #
