I noticed that today marks 20 years of Tim Bray‘s blog, ongoing. I’ve found it interesting and balanced reading for a long time. I especially like the graphic he uses in today’s post, from a webcomic by Rakhim.
Bray was involved in the evolution of SGML / XML / XHTML etc, and I still remember sitting out at Baboquivari High School (on the Tohono O’odham Rez, different story) reading a basic O’Reilly book on XHTML which mentioned his role, but failing to grasp the topic. (My failure to concentrate, no fault of the subject matter). That might have been 2003 or so, I’m not sure.
