🎂 Congrats on 20 years! #Even after 20 years, people keep discovering new ways of using #* : "WML, WAP, & Microformats Demo!" ()> Because WML elements may have the class attributeOriginally posted 2025-06-18: That adds to the list of languages with working microformats examples:* HTML — modern, unversioned as well as every version since HTML4* HTML3 — see * SVG — see * XHTML — every version, 1.0, 1.1, 2.0and now also:* WML — Literally any HTML-like or XML-like language that has a space-separated class attribute can work with microformats.In constrast, every alternative to microformats (most now defunct) required adding new attributes, or worse, entirely new elements, which meant revising every language one at a time (or use of fragile XML Namespaces), resulting in supporting only 1-2 languages at most (HTML and XHTML) in practice, and nothing else.Re-using the "class" attribute based on the existing footpath that web designers made for encoding additional semantics into their HTML, and the similarly extensible "rel" attribute, was one of the best design decisions in any extension format ever.After 20 years, microformats continue to serve as another example of “loosely joined” approaches being more adaptable, reliable, resilient, and longer lasting than “tightly coupled”.More microformats 20th anniversary posts from the # personal sites (via )* : "It’s the 20th anniversary of the launch of !"

Ran my 13th Bay to Breakers race in 1:55:31 today! 4min+ faster than last year.Once again the Midnight Runners crew cheered runners in Hayes Valley at the park a couple of blocks before the hill.Felt better than I did last year, more able to sustain a moderate pace.One quick pitstop in Golden Gate Park, and then picked up the pace to finish with a negative split and well under 2 hours. This time I made sure to keep running until I was well past the last timing strip.Other than the Midnight Runners cheer gang, this year I did not see anyone I knew the whole race. Bus + BART + jog to the start. Howard street up to Hayes hill, then by the Panhandle and through Golden Gate park to the finish.I did spot a neighbor after the finish and we caught up on the walk to the N-Judah light rail. Seeing the long line I decided to easy run backwards along the race course to see the costumes and a few human carried floats.Caught the Midnight Runners crew on the Conservatory of Flowers steps and hiked back to the Panhandle together. After catching up with a few friends I went home to shower and eat before heading back to the Panhandle.In contrast to last year, last Friday I only did a short shakeout run — no evening run and staying out late with Midnight Runners. Saturday SFRC was about the same distance.Similar to last year I took a bus to Van Ness, then jogged to the Civic Center station and took BART to Embarcadero. It seems that’s the only reliable transit option, no matter what any mapping application (Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Routesy) claims about bus or lightrail times or routes (they were all wrong, yet again, just like last year).Despite not seeing any friends running the race, feeling both stronger and more confident in my training was enough to boost my mood for the duration. I was grateful to be out there running on a beautiful day.Last year: # # # # # # # #

Last Friday I published my second Cybersecurity Friday post with three more key steps for cybersecurity. In summary:1. Different email address for each account, AKA email masking. Use or create a different email alias for each service you sign-up for.2. Different password for each account. This is a well known security technique against credential stuffing attacks.3. Use a password manager to autofill. Always using a password manager to autofill your login username (or email) and password can be a very effective method of reducing the chances of being phished.Full post with details: # Friday # #Previously:

May the Fourth be with you!There’s a movie discussion podcast that I discovered via my pal Tom Coates () when he posted their episode on the movie Gattaca^1 where they had him on as a special guest.Originally started in 2020 as “Dune Pod” about all things related to the then upcoming Dune movie, as they covered more and more movies of a certain kind from mostly the 1980s and 1990s, they renamed themselves “Escape Hatch”.For their 250th episode which they coincidentally released yesterday or today depending on your timezone, they decided to cover the classic 1980 Star Wars sequel Empire Strikes Back.An intelligent, nerdy, well researched, and overall entertaining discussion of what may be one of the greatest movies of all time — certainly the best Star Wars film.Check it out: # # # # ## # # #^1
