If you've played with #HTML in the 90s, you'll want to read this from @ricmac. I was part of Siegel's #hacks' (#HTMLterrorism) cult.
"With the rise of #Flash and #CSS in 1997, three #webdesign philosophies emerged. #DavidSiegel advocated for 'hacks', #JakobNielsen kept it simple, while #JeffreyZeldman combined flair with usability."

"By controlling what I listen to, and the order in which I listen, I’m slowly designing an infinite collage of my evolving musical tastes."
Maybe I should take another look at my long-abandoned Last.fm account.
From the man, the myth, the legend that is Zeldman.

I am a creative
It’s a good day, any time I can find an excuse to link to A List Apart. This piece doesn’t need an excuse to be linked. Nearly every sentence in it starts with “I am a creative…” and makes it read like some sort of manifesto… or the beginning of a communal incantation at some Creatives Anonymous meeting in a church basement.
I am still 10 times faster than people who are not creative, or people who have only been creative a short while, or people who have only been professionally creative a short while. It’s just that, before I work 10 times as fast as they do, I spend twice as long as they do putting the work off. I am that confident in my ability to do a great job when I put my mind to it. I am that addicted to the adrenaline rush of postponement. I am still that afraid of the jump.

That quoted bit isn’t better than several other bits. Rather, I wanted to point to that “addicted to the adrenaline rush of postponement” to say that verily (be sure to read the example use of verily related to aviation) this used to be me. These days I’m addicted to the adrenaline rush of postponing… and then entirely abandoning whatever it was. Also, I am still afraid of the jump.
