Draft of HTML 5 Hints at a Brave New Web
This week, the HTML Working Group, which is the arm of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) charged with updating HTML, published the first official draft of HTML 5, which will eventually supersede HTML 4.
And here I am, trying to learn XHTML and CSS, yes I know I’m way behind schedule but then again for the last 10 years or so I’ve been developing behind the scene applications and Java applications… my web dev days are long out of date… so yes here I am trying to learn XHTML and CSS, trying to refresh my JavaScript knowledge and pick up Ajax, plus looking into Python/Jython, but again that is more for behind the scenes… I’ve already worked with J2EE an Servlets, didn’t like JSP, but now to have to worry about HTML5…. couldn’t they have released this a year ago so that I could just learn it… oh well such is the life of a programmer… always having to learn new technologies and always one day behind….
Relic thefts ‘huge crime problem’ in U.S. parks
Theft of artifacts and relics is robbing not only the US Parks System, but everybody who visits and recognizes the purpose and benefit of the parks for all. While I’m not surprise that things like this happen, heck it happens all over the world… but regardless…. Anyways… I don’t know on whom to place more blame, the actual thieves, those who purchase the relics, or to a less extend the government for not funding the Parks well enough those they can attempt to prevent this. I think overall my blame falls on those who purchase these relics, and that goes for all theft related events, from fine art to animal pelts. If no one was willing to purchase these items, then no one would profit from the actual theft of such objects… oh off my soap box….
