People… [en]

…sometimes really disappoint me.

Not all of them, of course. Not you. But most people – sometimes.

Love The W3C [en]

The article “How I Learnt to Stop Worrying and Love the W3C” by Erika Meyer prompts me to go for a little trip down A List Apart memory lane, to point you to some of the first articles I read there.
