great @freerobby post + Kathy Sierra comment http://j.mp/cVkV2o debunk @umairh's "clever snark". @umairh: if you think it's "unbalanced", and you have so many good blog posts, then cite your posts in your tweets instead of thin tweeting and ad hominem attacking in blog comments.

read or edit #CSS #HTML specs? see @davidbaron post "Hidden complexity in specifications" http://j.mp/dbcpxs longurl http://dbaron.org/log/20100531-specs - I concur with David's analysis and conclusions, and recall many painful margin collapsing discussions in years of W3C CSS meetings.

in HyperCard 2010 session @osbridge. My question: what do we need in #Firefox to enable ease-of-HyperCard-like Web Apps?

OH @osbridge: "I will not open PDFs from the internet" #malware. Use Firefox gPDF add-on http://j.mp/ffpdf longurl: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14814/ - scans webpages for PDF links and sets them to open with the Google online PDF viewer instead of your local machine.

thanks @theinfonaut for a wonderful yoga class outdoors in South Park. now packing; PDX friends, see you soon @osbridge.

demoed Tweet Style Sheet (TSS) annotations / rich tweets w @rohitkhare, scared Paul Graham a little :) #tanhf demonstration at http://knx.to/rtf. TSS decompressor/cascader library: http://knx.to/tss.js - written in CASSIS naturally.

with @rohitkhare invented a way to compress CSS style declarations: ~10bytes/p:v for tweet stylesheet annotations #tanhf

taught nephew #2 to play chess with nephew #1. happy for these moments. weekend: @html5now writing. next week: #OSB PDX

we need vendor prefixes for pre-CR DOM APIs like CSS properties. enable more standards implementation iteration. #HTML5

finished a draft of first 4 of 16 chapters for the @html5now booklet. challenging but coming along nicely. #html5

thanks @thunder for the invite, @rohitkhare for the talk+ride, @ifindkarma for insights, @chrismessina for the return.

writing the @HTML5Now booklet in #HTML5. hard to express how right this feels. perhaps: cognitive resonance

LAST DAY @VTM_WD early bird tix #html5 #css3 June 28-30 @SF http://voicesthatmatter.com/webdesign2010 use code WTANTEK for even more savings.

completed screenshots/screencasts for @html5now. next: the booklet. has been much harder than expected. #html5 #writing

@chrismessina "alternative ... all female lineup" - seriously? separate but equal isn't. #segregation #lessconf - suggesting such a "great alternative" may not be an explicit call for segregation but their actions/patterns implicitly speak louder than their words.

watching the #lessconf tweetwreck. paging @chrismessina: time for "Future of White Boy clubs" post pt 3. see pts 1-2 http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2006/09/15/the-future-of-white-boy-clubs/ http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2009/02/27/future-of-white-boys-clubs-redux-fowaspeak/ and see related recent post by @lauraglu: http://laura.gluhani.ch/post/533897866/we-have-a-two-year-program-here-and-we-try-like and of course the live commentary: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=lessconf

1 more week! @VTM_WD Web Design early bird tix extended to Friday 05-21 http://voicesthatmatter.com/webdesign2010

update: @W3C AC Reps, for specs w/o test suites or interop browser support: vote NO on PRs, downgrade RECs to CRs. PR = Proposed Recommendation, REC = Recommendation, CR = Candidate Recommendation. Encourage more tests suites for, and iteration on, working drafts (WDs) like HTML5, CRs like many CSS specs. Follow-up to http://ttk.me/t45j5.

idea: use @foursquare TO DOs for GTD venue-specific context next actions. checkin = reminder. cc: @gtdguy @hotdogsladies

"OpenID Connect builds on top of OAuth ... complementary with #RelMeAuth" -@daveman692. happy to be corrected -@t

Dear @W3C AC Reps, vote NO on XHTML Modularization + all specs w/o test suites, interop browser implementations #moz - see @davidbaron's post: "We don’t see this specification as relevant to how browsers implement HTML or how Web authors writing content for the public Web write HTML." http://blog.mozilla.com/standards/2010/05/13/mozilla-at-w3c-review-of-xhtml-modularization-per/

Instead of #OpenID Connect ideas, why not help iterate/build on #RelMeAuth implementation? http://ufs.cc/w/relmeauth - draft is public domain, has an open source working Python implementation on github, and PHP library in progress.

@daveman692 content, data, links in HTML on the web easier to author, publish, edit, and more reliable than XML/JSON (over time, maintenance, visible data/pages updated, invisible meta rots). Re: complexity - probably requires in-person discussion.

Sorry @chrismessina @jsmarr I'm calling bullshit on #OpenID Connect. Still too complex, unnecessary vocab renaming, ignores primacy of HTML on the web, and most of all: fails to start with user and user interface needs, and make them first and foremost in the design.
