"HTML has always been a conversation between browser makers, authors, standards wonks, and other people who just showed up and liked to talk about angle brackets. Most of the successful versions of HTML have been “retro-specs,” catching up to the world while simultaneously trying to nudge it in the right direction. Anyone who tells you that HTML should be kept “pure” (presumably by ignoring browser makers, or ignoring authors, or both) is simply misinformed. HTML has never been pure, and all attempts to purify it have been spectacular failures, matched only by the attempts to replace it."

USPS package tracking: 10/25, my parcel arrived ... somewhere. 10/27, it arrived somewhere else. 10/29, etc. Thanks for the useful info.
@safaribooks Not crazy about the new design. Prefer one long list of my books, not six pages of 10-item lists and next/prev links.
@safaribooks Also, sort-by-title in Favorites isn't working for me; order appears random, and stays the same ascending or descending.
A U-verse tech was here Sunday are worked on my gear for two hours. It managed to stay functional for a whole day afterward.
AT&T U-verse is starting to remind me of Comcast. And if that isn't a deadly insult, I don't know what is.
U-verse tech wiped 50+ hours of recordings doing a factory reset on the DVR, now it looks like that wasn't the source of the problem.
Today's xkcd is a tribute to GeoCities, which Yahoo is shutting down today. Be sure to do a 'View Source'. http://www.xkcd.com/654/
The Economics Of Fear - http://theferrett.livejournal.com/1346357...
"Scientific studies have shown that you can destroy a child by calling them "smart." Even when they're very young, little kids know that being "smart" is what makes them special - and so, the first time they encounter something they don't understand immediately, it's a threat. Their specialness is in danger of being stripped away. And if they lose that smartness, then what are they? Kids who are called smart take fewer chances. Why risk all that glorious social acclaim for a stupid test?"
