The Architecture of the World Wide Web, Volume One has become a W3C Recommendation.
Congratulations to the W3C TAG. This is a great piece of work (even if the title does sound like a Mel Brooks movie) and provides an invaluable foundation for the design of Web-based systems.
Where Leonardo has failed to embody the terminology, principles or best practices of this document, I consider that to be a bug in Leonardo.

Scoble mentions that today is the fourth anniversary of his blog and he credits Dave Winer as one of the people that talked him into it.
Thinking back, four years ago was the EDevCon conference in New Orleans that I gave a Web Services keynote at. Scoble was the organizer. I also met Dave Winer there for the first time (and Brent Simmons). Dave has a picture to prove it (that's me with the Slashdot fleece :-)
Whatever Dave said to Scoble to talk him into blogging, he mustn't have said to me, but I got there eventually.

I was reminiscing with my parents this evening about my first year of high school, which I did by correspondence because we were living in Brunei at the time. My mum reminded me that the thing I hated most was having to write a journal for English.
My teacher didn't care what I wrote, as long as I wrote something. But I always found it difficult, perhaps because the act of writing something down on paper and posting it off to my teacher in Australia made it all seem so formal.
How much easier it would have been if blogs had existed back in 1986!
