in progress

I want you all to know I’m still catching my breath after retiring, and I haven’t forgotten my promise to be more communicative.

First, I’d like to recognize how dormant my blog has been.

I’m here, in my nearly-abandoned long form web home, to ask for one simple thing.

I read PPK’s “Web vs. native: let’s concede defeat” article with great interest.

One of the things I’m bad at is sharing advice in a broader public forum.

In case you haven’t seen the news yet, the Chromium project is building and releasing a new open source web rendering engine based on Webkit, called Blink.

(Updated: eek!

For those of you not in the know, a Holga is a “toy camera” – it’s a plastic camera body, with a plastic lens, that retails for around $25.

Robert O’Callahan wrote a post last week about Mozilla’s historical promotion of the open Web over proprietary platforms.

Tick.

I’d already mentioned that I was going to be a keynote speaker at Web Directions Unplugged here in Seattle on May 12th; I’ll also be presenting a session titled “Building Web Apps for Google TV” with my cohort Daniels Lee at Google I/O earlier that week,…

I’m happy that I’m going to SXSW again this year – although, partly due to my job transition, I won’t be speaking on any panels this year (maybe next year I’ll get to be on the Browser Wars panel again :P).

I’m really pleased and excited to announce that I’ll be keynoting at the Web Directions Unplugged conference here in Seattle, May 12-13 2011.

I started working for Google six weeks ago today.

Today was my last day at Microsoft.

Yeah.

After many years, and a lot of releases, I have left the Internet Explorer team.

As he announced, Sam Ruby (my co-chair on the HTML WG) is expecting an offer to work for Microsoft.

I was tagged for the “seven things about me” meme by my friend Daniel Glazman.

Seriously, I know I’m awful at consistently blogging.

Dion Almaer posted over on Ajaxian about the work of the ECMAScript committee, and Brendan Eich’s recent posting: http://ajaxian.com/archives/ecmascript-harmony-coming-together-after-oslo.

For my own benefit, I’m going to define the rules a little differently than on the IE Blog, or than my previous blog.

Mostly to shut people up about my blog not validating.

I wanted to chime in with a few important points in response to the comments on Bill Hill’s post over on the IEBlog.

I’ve decided to move my blog over here, from its previous location over here.
