It has arrived today!
A colleague of mine advised I should treat it as a new computer (as opposed to transferring on it the same “image” I have been using since the beginning in 2005) and it is overwhelming, right now. Also, I haven’t had to set up a new machine in 10 years.
So I’m putting the “pro” in procrastination: it is now charging.
Guess whose workplace 10 year-old MacBook Pro is going to be retired REAL SOON NOW?!
Yes, me!
I was asked about (my) history of the web and relationship with @w3c by @bkardell on behalf of @igalia 3 weeks ago. The filmed interview aired last night.
So many memories resurfaced! For example did you know the 1998 soccer World Cup was streamed live, in ascii, over Telnet? I watched it!
Parts of the interview are a bit personal, but I got to share with Brian some of my favourite thoughts and hopes for #w3c
If you watch/listen I hope you learn something ☺️
Very well-delivered talk by @w3c colleague and @tag co-chair @torgo last week, which takes the listener on the journey of designing technology according to principles.
#WideReview gets you there.
Because "Technology without ethics makes social inequality worse."

Today I updated the visual 1994-2024 timeline of @w3c organizational highlights and most notable technical work.
For additional context I added the number of websites and Internet users every few years, as well as a layer noting a selection of other sites, products or services.
It's a lot of data in one representation 🤓

The other day I read a question whether a monkey transfer protocol existed for the Web.
Yes, yes, they wrote "money transfer protocol".
I think I've successfully remapped "monkey" for "money" in my brain! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love it when a plan comes together
