"“Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself” is a transcription of the reporter’s recorded interviews with Wallace, including a notation of every break during which he changes the tape. (He eventually runs out of cassettes, and they have to appropriate an aerobics mix tape belonging to Wallace’s ex-girlfriend.) The book has not been formatted for the reader’s convenience, any more than “Infinite Jest” was with its cursed endnotes. Wallace’s remarks appear in roman type, alternating with Lipsky’s in italics. Brief, often cryptic notes by the reporter are enclosed in brackets."

Jeff Jaffe, new-ish CEO of the W3C, continues his mission to bore the world to death with his series of dry-as-a-bone blogposts. In a roundabout way he eventually get his main points across — drive web accessibility, focus on web users (not vendors) and bring standards work back into the W3C. But I maintain that what the W3C REALLY needs are some excellent communicators, because they are in danger of becoming an irrelevance to web users and developers.

Neat little mobile-friendly webapp where you can look up keywords in various W3C specifications (HTML, CSS, SVG, XPath), as well as get access to various guidelines and best practices.
