Why are we Working in the Web Industry?

Getting off the Endless Carnival Ride

At this time of year we all get a few days to get off endless carnival ride of our industry, this allows us time to reflect. Or simply unwind and contemplate the old navel lint. It’s at times like this you ask yourself why you really got into the Web Industry in the first place.

Now I’m not talking about because you need to provide or earn a little cash for yourself and your nearest and dearest.  No I’m going beyond the material domain. We all have to earn a living in one shape or another, so let’s just put that aside.

Er…It’s the Silly Season

Christmas 2007

Silly season is here: Internet Explorer 8 passes the Acid2 test, Andy Clarke wants the W3C CSS working group to rethink, Forbes releases the 25 top Web Celebrities for 2008. Yeap you can tell things are a little crazy, must be something in the air in relation to the season this time of year. Okay some of these items have a very serious side (IE8 and the CSS working group). But it is a little amazing how all these important issues and others tend to launch themselves at us just as we are preparing for a much earned break with family and friends.
