I am tickled to see this bit of web trivia listed in @TheSeattleTimes “Today in History”. I represented Boeing to the #WorldWideWebConsortium (#W3C) for years. That international Web standards org was made possible because @timbl and @CERN generously gave the initial web code to the world for free — apparently on April 30, 1993. Many of my friends here are from that connection. I am deeply grateful for that experience. And of course that we have the Web!

@bkardell @svgeesus @w3c @igalia Thanks for posting that, Chris! I had a big smile watching the both of you. Then I went on to read earlier interviews (so far: @cdub, @stubbornella, [email protected], [email protected]) I learned some interesting tidbits and had many fond memories. Warms my heart to ‘see’ each of you. Thanks for the series, Brian!

Hands Off!

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on and daring the world to stop them. On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message: Hands Off!

Hands Off!

In 1993 I told my boss I was bored; needed a new subject. 6 months later she said, “I need to support something called the World Wide Web & Mosaic. Don’t know what it is — check it out.” I came back, “It’s very neat. Won’t last 6 months, but I need something new to do.” Joe Meadows & I brought the web into Boeing (gradually with many others). We joined the W3C early, which now is 30! I am deeply grateful for such luck. Huge congrats to the W3C for decades of important work. @w3c @W30C
