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 ☺️

I have a chat / interview upcoming for work (that isn't a job interview) that takes place somewhere on the Web called recording[.]zencaster and I'm anything but "zen"!
I do look forward to it, though!

Wow, I'm editing a web page that is *so old* it starts with <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">

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 🤓

On the same day, today, the European Parliament passed the #AIAct and the @w3c team published an analysis of the systemic impact on the Web of AI systems, and how Web standardization might mitigate that impact! What a great timing 👌

#CSS level 1 by @bert & H&kon became a @w3c Recommendation 27 years ago🎉
#OnThisDay in 1996, a foundational aspect of the web became a standard!
> CSS1 allows authors and readers to attach style to HTML documents [that] is human readable and writable.
> One of the fundamental features of CSS is that style sheets cascade; authors can attach a preferred style sheet, while the reader may have a personal style sheet to adjust for human or technological handicaps.
