“W3C’s Redesign,” or “John 3:16 (Thunderpuss Remix)”
A lot going on in my personal life, but I have surprisingly little to say in front of so many people. So I won’t go there, for now.
It’s slow goings-on at work, however, so I’m keeping myself busy by thinking up redesigns for the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) webpage, using valid tableless XHTML and CSS. The redesign contest was created by a bunch of web developers and designers that think the W3C webpage is ugly, even though the W3C seems to be composed of, and thus directed to, a group of “super-geeks, not consumer-oriented designers, developers, writers, and information specialists.”
Uhmm… then why even bother? It’s kind of like having a bunch of Christian DJ’s who throw a contest on who can do the best Euro-trance remix of the Book-on-tape version of the King James Bible.
(Actually… I wouldn’t mind hearing a 30 second sample of that. That probably explains why I’m working on a redesign.) In any case, half the fun is reading this discussion thread and watching “designers,” “coders” and “compliance gurus” accuse each other of not doing their jobs. For those that couldn’t care less, just skip directly to the very last comment posted.
Suddenly, I have a good idea for a webgame. Hmm.
