Formerly archaeologist, teacher, hippie, secretary, Zen student, computer person, geek cheerleader. Now a retired free agent; still curious about most things. Based in Seattle; love travel, languages, people from other places. Collaboration, cooperation, consensus, progressive politics, watercolor, family and friends warm my soul.

Föderation EN Do 01.05.2025 03:55:52 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! Medien: 1 |

Föderation EN Di 08.10.2024 10:21:27 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 |
